Time, waiting, and the politics of delay in Gaza during genocide
This study examines how war reorganizes temporal experience through the politics of waiting, delay, and suspended life in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Drawing on a qualitative, interpretive design grounded in decolonial feminist and critical temporal perspectives, the study explores how civilians living under conditions of continuous violence experience and make sense of time in their everyday lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted betwee…
Psychosocial interventions, programs and support to promote young caregivers’ well-being: An integrative review
Spaces of Survival and Resistance: Psychogeographies Amid the Ongoing Genocide of Gaza
This study examines how genocidal violence reconfigures lived space in the Gaza Strip and explores how Palestinians experience and re-signify places through everyday practices of survival, memory, and resistance. Drawing on debates on genocide, affective geographies, and settler colonialism, the study conceptualizes space as both a target of violence and a site of refusal. Between December 2024 and January 2025, 24 Palestinians living under siege…
Erosion of mattering and agency among displaced Gazans under ongoing genocide: A qualitative study
Background Prolonged exposure to genocide and structural violence profoundly reshapes how individuals perceive their value, agency, and social significance. While research on trauma in Gaza has documented high levels of psychological distress, less is known about how genocide reorganizes everyday relational life, progressively narrowing recognition, participation, and voice. Objective This study explores how displaced Gazan women and men experien…
Collective and Decolonial Practices in Narrative Approaches: A Duoethnographic Reflection within the Context of Niger

The analysis is grounded in themes identified by participants through the co-construction of a collective document during the training. Building on these themes, we engage in a dialogic and reflexive examina…

While research has documented the psychological impact of war, less attention has been paid to how survi…
Beyond Neutrality, Normalization, and Complicity at Times of the Genocide: Psychologists for Palestine
We have been witnessing the perpetuation of violent and cruel aggression against the Palestinian people by Israel. At the international level, there have been sparse individual or collective initiatives within the field of psychology to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine and against the genocide in Gaza, yet the question of Palestine remains ambiguous, and the possible stance of psychology as a research field and scientific institution on the …
Narrative Practices as Situated Ethical and Political Processes: A Qualitative Study in South Africa
Narrative practices are increasingly positioned as decolonial and feminist alternatives to individualizing and deficit-oriented psychological interventions. However, limited empirical research has examined how such practices are enacted within everyday community and organizational contexts shaped by structural inequality. This qualitative study explores how narrative practices are experienced, negotiated, and adapted by 16 women social workers an…

Using a decolonial feminist psychological framework, the study integrates structural analysis, narrative interpretation, and thematic mapping across six experiential domains: rupture of home, cyclical displacem…
The Uncanny City and the Immanence of Crisis: An Arts-Informed Ethnography
The Uncanny is a concept famously elaborated by Freud, referring to the experience of unease at suddenly recognising a familiar but unhomely presence in a homely scene, a brief slippage into a more disturbing reality. This paper serves as an art-informed ethnography, exploring the uncanny experience of visiting Florence, a Theme Park City, during a time of international crisis. Drawing on Gale’s concept of ‘affective presencing,’ I develop a seri…

Prevalence and correlates of anxiety, depression, and symptoms of trauma among Palestinian adults in Gaza after a year of war: A cross-sectional study
Armed conflicts have a devastating effect on the civilian population, not only by direct violence but also by causing long-lasting psychiatric conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety, as a result of exposure to traumatic events such as displacement, loss of loved ones, and destruction of homes. The military attack on Gaza, which has been ongoing since October 7, 2023, compounds an environment of continui…

This analysis critically engages with the shor…
Coping with trauma and adversity among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip: A qualitative, culture-informed analysis
In this article, we propose that coping is not only an individual property but also a structural feature. Coping shapes what is referred to in social network theory as multiplex networks, which are based on relations with multiple functions, values and meanings. Focus groups with adult Palestinians were held and content analysed. Five main coping strategies were identified: (a) creating cultural and religious meaning; (b) individualism to collect…

Three self-reported measures—Sense of Coherence (SOC-29) …
Hair cutting as resistance: Gazan women and the failures of global feminism
This article employs socio-cultural theories to analyse the psychosocial effects of Gazan women cutting their hair during the 2023–2024 Gazacide. The severe conditions in Gaza, exacerbated by a lack of sanitation and essential resources due to the ongoing blockade, have forced women into extreme precarity. This has led to the compulsory act of hair-cutting as a measure for disease prevention. The act of cutting hair, which disrupts a universally …
Critical consciousness from a Palestinian feminist, decolonial perspective: A collective exploratory inquiry
To date, many studies have documented the devastating impact of the Israeli military occupation in Palestine, which deprives Palestinians of all basic and human rights. Yet, the interlocking oppressions that characterize the Israeli occupation—as those of other colonial systems—are mostly overlooked, with little attention being devoted in mainstream literature to the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality within the colonial project.…
