“Like a steak at a vegan village”
Background Recovery from substance and/or gambling addiction is a multidimensional process that refers to a change on three levels: the individual’s environment, behavioral patterns, and self-perception. Stable recovery refers to such changes after 5 years or more. Recent studies—which have focused on recovering individual perspectives—have mostly examined the early phases of recovery from addiction, but offer limited details on the various mecha…

Recovery capital among male adult sexual assault survivors
Therapeutic Alliance and In-Session Therapy Needs of Male Adult Sexual Assault Survivors
Male sexual victimization is more commonly examined in the context of child sexual abuse than adult sexual assault (ASA; 18+), with therapeutic research largely centering on female survivors, who constitute the main focus of scholarly attention. Consequently, this study explored how the therapeutic alliance is built and what in-session therapy needs emerge for male ASA survivors, as shaped by masculinity and adulthood. Data were collected from 39…
I Call It a Self-Rape
Research on men's sexual victimization has primarily focused on the psychological impact of childhood abuse by male perpetrators and how societal beliefs about masculinity hinder disclosure. This study broadens the lens by exploring how adult men interpret coercive or noncoercive unwanted sex with women. We analyzed in-depth interviews with 15 heterosexual Israeli men using a phenomenological approach. The findings reveal three interrelated dimen…
The Process of Online Disclosures of Interpersonal Victimization
Theory and research on disclosure of interpersonal victimization, including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and child abuse, has produced rich scholarship promoting a greater understanding of the challenges and implications of disclosure for survivors. However, in the last decade, social media platforms have opened new online disclosure opportunities that diverge from and overlap with offline disclosure. This highlights the need for ad…
Centering Mothers in Feminist Criminology
This article reviews the literature on mothers of victims and mothers of offenders through a feminist criminological lens. Results of our analysis of 52 articles from a twenty-year period indicated that, though situated on opposite sides of the criminal justice system, aspects of the experiences of mothers of victims and offenders were similar. Specifically, the mothers shared perceived accountability for their offspring’s involvement in crime, t…
Drug risk perception and risk management strategies among Israeli functioning drug users
Drug use studies have mainly examined risk management among vulnerable populations that are commonly categorized by their risk-taking behavior. They have not, however, investigated functioning users’ perceptions of risks and harms. The current study attempts to fill this gap by examining how functioning people who are in the process of building their careers or family lives perceive and manage the risks and harms of drug use. We interviewed 29 Is…
If He Were a Terrorist, You Would Have Caught Him Already”
This study aimed to advance knowledge about separation abuse-and, specifically, divorce denial-and its implications for the well-being of survivors, by applying the conservation of resources (COR) theory . Data were collected from 15 Israeli female survivors of intimate partner violence who were denied divorce over a period lasting between 1 and 12 years. The findings revealed the participants' perceived detrimental effects of divorce denial on t…
Maintaining Normative Functioning Alongside Drug Use
The current study examined drug users’ perspectives on strategies that helped them to maintain normative functioning or resolve impaired functioning. We interviewed 29 drug users who described themselves as functioning normatively while using drugs on a regular basis until they experienced harms or raised concerns of future harms. The content analysis showed that the users maintain their normative functioning through diverse strategies that can b…
“The Global Sense of Disaster was Synchronized With my Own Disaster”
The present study is designed to improve our understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as collective trauma, on the wellbeing of survivors of sexual violence (SV). The data are based on an online qualitative survey about the experiences of 39 survivors and a thematic analysis of ten in-depth interviews with service providers in Israel. The findings reveal that the pandemic and restrictive measures are associated with increased risk fo…
Barriers to and facilitators of help-seeking behavior among Israeli men who experience intimate partner violence
Maintenance of long-term recovery from substance use
Drawing on a person-centered approach to recovery from substance use that acknowledges recovery pathways as shaped by people’s personal and social context, the purpose of this study was to compare recovery maintenance of two pathways, self-change and treatment-change. A mixed methods design was employed among 229 respondents [134 self-changers (SCs) and 95 treatment-changers (TCs)], with a qualitative subsample of 41 participants. The results ind…
Weak Is the New Strong
Much of what has been written about prison masculinity has focused on the hypermasculine climate of prisons that rewards aggression and the concealment of vulnerability. However, the findings of more recent studies have indicated a more varied ideal of masculinity in this environment. The present research examined how inmates construct and understand masculinity within the domain of reformatory intervention. Interpretative phenomenological analys…

Exploring the promise of intersectionality for promoting justice-involved women’s health research and policy
The perspective of intersectionality has gained widespread scholarly interest and been employed across many different disciplines, including criminology. This perspective focuses on interlocking systems of oppression and the need to work toward structural changes to promote social justice and equity. The present article aimed to explore the potential of intersectionality for advancing health research and policy regarding justice-involved women, i…
A mixed-methods study of self-change among severely substance-dependent Israelis
A mixed-methods design was used to examine gender differences in self-change (SC), and integrate the quantitative findings with information extracted from qualitative narratives. The sample included 133 self-changers (52 women and 81 men), with a subsample of 25 respondents. The quantitative analysis showed no significant gender differences in personal characteristics, except in history of child abuse. Women reported a higher rate of emotional an…
Does Self-Change Occur Among Severely Dependent Substance Users
The aims of the current study were to examine differences between self-changers (SC) and treatment-changers (TC) in sociodemographic, personal characteristics, severity of substance use disorders (SUDs), and psychiatric problems, and to predict the severity of SUDs, psychiatric problems, and belonging to the SC group. The sample included 229 Israeli respondents (134 SC and 95 TC). Significant differences between the two groups were found. The SC …
Even crap can be fertilizer”
This qualitative study illuminates the experience of volunteering at sexual assault crisis centers among women survivors of sexual assault. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 women who had been volunteering at four different sexual assault crisis centers across Israel for 1 to 17 years. The findings reveal three main themes. First, there are five types of motivation to volunteer at such centers, all grounded in the participants’ experienc…
Lifetime history of suicidal ideation and attempts among incarcerated women in israel
As the number of women with mental health concerns entering prison grows, corrections staff are faced with increasing challenges to provide services that mitigate the risk of death by suicide. Inquiring about childhood abuse and symptoms of depression and mental health problems, as well as providing treatment for the emotional impact of trauma exposure, may reduce the risk of suicidality in this population.

Missed Opportunities
The current study explores the factors that people incarcerated in Israeli prisons identify as contributing to their unsuccessful desistance. Twenty in-depth interviews were carried out with substance-involved men and women inmates. The findings showed that they faced subjective and sociostructural problems, reflecting interlocking axes of marginalization. However, the men and women constructed their narratives of unsuccessful desistance accordin…
A qualitative study of barriers and facilitators in treating drug use among Israeli mothers
The Experience of Mothers Exposed to the Abuse of Their Daughters by an Intimate Partner
This qualitative study illuminates the experience of mothers exposed to the intimate partner violence (IPV) of their daughters. In-depth interviews with 11 exposed mothers were conducted. The findings reveal four semi-chronological phases in the participants' experiences: pre-disclosure of the daughter's abuse, the first definitive encounter with the daughter's abuse, living with continued exposure to the daughter's IPV, and the aftermath of the …
Gender Differences in Child Abuse and Intergenerational Transmission of Crime and Substance Abuse among Israeli Inmates
A qualitative study of barriers and facilitators in treating drug use among Israeli mothers
Men and Women Inmates' Accounts of Their Pathways to Crime
Most of the research on gender differences in crime has been based on quantitative methods and focused on either women or men, but not both. In this qualitative study, we explored the association between gender and perceived pathways to crime. We employed a thematic analysis of 20 interviews with inmates, focusing on how they negotiated notions about femininity and masculinity while constructing their own pathways to crime. Men and women presente…

Using a social constructionism framework, 25 recovering drug-dependent mothers in different stages of recovery were interviewed and 5 of them were followed for another 2 years. The results challenge the argument presented by advocates of gender-sensitive therapy in the…

Moulding an emancipatory discourse
In this study, we investigated how mothers in different stages of recovery from addiction negotiate their identities along this process. We mapped the discursive fields in which those mothers act and the subject-positions available to them. The first discourse in this field was the popular discourse that according to it addicted mothers are compared to ‘monsters’. Another discourse was the institutional discourse that stems from the milieu in whi…

Gender Differences in Child Abuse and Intergenerational Transmission of Crime and Substance Abuse among Israeli Inmates
I used to be an ordinary mom”
Mothers of children who suffer various problems tend to discuss their experience as a crisis in their maternal identity, regardless of whether the children are young or adults. However, the maternal identity of mothers who are aware that their adult daughters are being abused has not yet been explored. This study aims to examine the construction of the maternal identity by Israeli women whose grown daughters have been subjected to intimate partne…
