Caring in crisis: Clinicians’ experiences with children released from captivity in armed conflict.
The abduction of children in armed conflict is a pervasive global problem with severe physical and psychological consequences. Such traumatic events affect not only children and their families but also the clinicians responsible for supporting recovery. This study examines the subjective experiences and coping strategies of clinicians in Israel who worked with children, adolescents, and their caregivers immediately after release from war captivit…
The Mediating Role of Emotional Dysregulation in the Relationship Between Anxious Attachment and Suicidal Behavior in Children Admitted to an Emergency Department
Child suicide rates and emergency department visits due to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) are rising at an alarming rate globally. In the United States, suicide deaths among children aged 5-12 increased by 195% from 1990 to 2020, highlighting an urgent need for greater understanding of the underlying risk factors. Although poor parent-child relationships and child emotional dysregulation have been identified as correlates of STB, the preci…
Implicit or explicit self-associations with life and death? Predicting short-term self-injurious thoughts and behaviors among adolescents
Implicit self-association with death, measured by the Death/Suicide-Implicit Association Test (D/S-IAT), predicts short-term Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors (SITBs) among adolescents. However, comparing the predictive utility of the D/S-IAT with explicit (i.e. self-report) self-association with life and death was not examined previously. The current study sought to examine whether the D/S-IAT and explicit self-association with life and deat…
Selective mutism in immigrant families: An ecocultural perspective
Although the diagnosis of selective mutism (SM) is more prevalent among immigrant children, the link between the disorder and an immigration background has been elusive. Guided by ecocultural models of development, the current study aimed to construct a theory-based description of SM while considering individual, family, and contextual risk factors. Participants were 78 children with SM (38.4% with an immigration background), and 247 typically de…
Brief report: The effect of two short psychological interventions on psychiatric morbidity in parents of pediatric hematology oncology patients, a feasibility study
A Following Wave Pattern of Suicide-Related Pediatric Emergency Room Admissions during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and response, which included physical distancing and stay-at-home orders, disrupted the daily lives of children and adolescents, isolating them from their peers, school, and other meaningful contacts. The present study aims to add to the accumulating evidence on the pandemic's impact on child and adolescent suicidal behavior. Data were extracted from Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel's pediatric emergency room (E…
Involvement in litigation in children with PTSD following motor vehicle accident: Associations with emotional distress and treatment outcomes
Ultra-Brief Crisis IPT-A Based Intervention for Suicidal Children and Adolescents (IPT-A-SCI) Pilot Study Results
In recent years, suicidal behaviors have shown substantial increase worldwide. This trend is also prominent in Israel and has led to a dramatic increase in mental health treatment demand resulting in long wait times and low treatment acceptance rate. To address the critical need in crisis intervention for children and adolescents at suicidal risk we developed an ultra-brief acute crisis intervention, based on Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). IP…
Non-Motor Aspects of Tic Disorders—New Developments
The cardinal characteristics of tic-related disorders are stereotyped motor movements and vocalizations. However, they may be accompanied by non-motor features that appear sequentially during the course of the disorder and can sometimes be more disabling than the tics themselves. This review presents our perspectives on several non-motor aspects of Tourette syndrome based on the long experience of the Neuropsychiatric Tourette Clinic of a tertiar…
