The analysis of 18 in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with Israeli parents of trans young adults suggests that the parents’ experiences were characterized by a dialectic between feelings of vulnerability and resilience. The parents’ vulnerability was shaped by their social positioning as a minor…

Bringing in the third wheel
Law, Value and Norm
Multi-cultural encounters pose challenges and ethical dilemmas for social workers. A common form of dilemma in these settings stems from the clash between the ethical requirement of cultural sensitivity and contradictory ethical principles. This article presents qualitative findings from an exploratory study of social workers (n = 30) working with Jewish Ultra-Orthodox families and children who are at risk in Israel. Our exploration was guided by…
Social workers’ constructions of child risk and protection in the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community
Social workers’ perceptions regarding child risk and protection tend to rely on universal criteria that may differ from the perceptions of minority groups. The Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel is a strictly religious, segregated, close-knit community with idiosyncratic values and norms that differ from those of social workers in the country. This qualitative study aimed to explore social workers’ perceptions and ascribed meanings of chil…
“Always Thinking About Safety”
Although there is a growing body of knowledge focusing on lesbian families and their parenting experiences, African American lesbian mothers are often underrepresented in research. This qualitative exploratory study aims to understand the constructions and perspectives of African American lesbian mothers, from an urban East Coast area, on risk and well‐being. Fifteen in‐depth semi‐structured interviews were conducted and analyzed at the end of 20…

Parental love is often regarded as central to a child's well‐being, although the culture‐informed and context‐informed scholarship on this topic has been surprisingly limited. The present study was designed to highlight the concept of parental love from the unique perspective of Israeli Ultra‐Orthodox Jewish parents. It is based on a secondary qualitative thematic analysis of 27 interviews with parents that explore the constructions, experiences …

Behind the (Virtual) Mirror
Online therapy and supervision, a rapidly rising practice in couple and family therapy, has been the subject of a growing body of literature. From its early days, family therapy training has included live supervision, which has typically been conducted by a supervisor and a team of trainees situated on the other side of a one‐way mirror. With the outbreak of the COVID‐19 global pandemic, we—the staff of supervisors at the Barcai Institute in Tel …
A Context‐Informed Perspective of Child Risk and Protection
This article discusses context‐informed conceptualization in the study of children's risk and protection. It begins by defining this perspective, challenging the universalistic approach and the view of cultures as uniform, monolithic and static and acknowledging hybridity, complexity, and the dynamics of change and power relations. In the second part of the article, we exemplify three contexts (religion and spirituality, racism and exclusion, pol…
Politicisation processes in everyday practice with refugees
This article deals with the political context of social work practice with refugees. Specifically, it addresses the ways politics and policies that derive from them, interplay with social workers’ perceptions and constructions regarding their daily practice. It is based on findings from a qualitative study that included 22 in-depth interviews with Israeli and German social workers who work with refugees. Working in a ‘highly political’ field mean…
Rethinking ‘cultural competence’ in international social work
Cultural competence is today a prominent concept and aspiration in all aspects of international social work. In this article, I argue that the common understanding of ‘cultural competence’ from the so-called essentialist perspective is inadequate, and even risky, when working in an international context. Drawing on examples, I suggest that a more constructive and reflective view of cultural competence be adopted in order to meet the challenges of…

However, questions regarding social work education in the context of political conflict have remained mainly unanswered. In this paper, we present findings from a research project that examined social work education within institutions of higher education in the Israeli context of armed p…

Perspectives of ultra-Orthodox children in Israel on risk and protection
This article explores subjective perceptions and constructions of "risk" and "protection" among ultra-Orthodox Jewish children aged 10-16 in Israel.

Our analysis indicates that the children's subjective perceptions of "risk" and "protection" coincided with four fundamental domains: the physical, the emotional, the political, and the spiritual. The find…
Bringing Context and Power Relations to the Fore
The aim of this research was to examine the unique contribution of intergroup dialogue encounters, held in an international context, to multicultural social work education.

The Pedagogy of Discomfort
This article describes, analyses and conceptualises one pedagogical practice aimed at challenging social work students to reflect on the way they perceive the ‘Other’—taking the online Implicit Association Test (IAT) at home and composing a non-graded reflection paper about the experience. Our discussion proceeds in light of Boler’s (1999) ‘pedagogy of discomfort’ and considers both the importance of enhancing critical reflectivity and the challe…

Facing Reality
In this paper, we describe, analyse and conceptualise our attempt to teach standard social work content in Israel while relating to the immediate socio-cultural-political context of life in the shadow of a violent political conflict. Following an analysis of a group meeting that was held immediately after a significant wave of violence in our region, we discuss the potential of using current events in social work education for developing reflecti…

What’s love got to do with this?” The construction of love in forensic interviews following child abuse
The best period of my life
This article examines the experiences of Israeli trans students, revealing the meanings they ascribe to their social interactions in the academic environment and outside it. Based on an analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews with Israeli trans students studying in several academic institutions, we show that their experiences reflect their movement between two realms: one of risk and one of safety. These realms are inter-related because each he…
