Baroclinic Tide Generation at the Dolphin and Union Strait in the Southern Canadian Arctic Archipelago
We studied baroclinic tide generation at the Dolphin and Union Strait, a channel in the southern Canadian Arctic Archipelago that consists of a shallow sill. Utilizing both observational data and numerical simulations, we found that, due to the presence of strong stratification in the summertime, baroclinic tides are generated at both M2 and K1 frequencies as a result of the interaction between the amplified tidal currents and bottom topography. …

A qualitative analysis of contemporary ultra-orthodox rabbinical perspectives on scrupulosity
Scrupulosity is a religiously themed sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Religious individuals with scrupulosity tend to first turn to clergy for assistance rather than to mental health professionals. This is particularly relevant for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish patients, whose rabbis arbitrate a wide variety of life issues. In the current qualitative study, 15 Ultra-Orthodox rabbis were interviewed regarding their views on scrupulosity and thei…

Creating Their Own Reality
Value-Sensitive Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Psychiatric rehabilitation contains value-laden concepts that may be unacceptable to certain cultures and many individuals. The concepts of independence and work are examined in a clash between mental health professionals in charge of national policies in psychiatric rehabilitation in Israel and a rehabilitation center for the severely mentally ill within the ultra-orthodox Jewish community. The government professionals considered that having the…
The wife of God
The case was presented of an ultra-orthodox Jewish woman who believed that she is the wife of God. Such a belief may be normative in some religions, but not in Judaism, where closeness to God is understood as a metaphor. Although the patient's beliefs are not acceptable within ultra-orthodox beliefs, there are examples of such ideas within the history of religious Judaism. The deviance of her delusions from the religious norm would appear to be d…
Stigma of mental illness, religious change, and explanatory models of mental illness among Jewish patients at a mental-health clinic in North Jerusalem
During 3 months in 2004, 38 recent referrals to a Community Mental Health Clinic in North Jerusalem, a substantially Ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, were evaluated by the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue. This questionnaire, which includes a 13-item scale measuring stigma towards mental illness, was adapted and translated into Hebrew. Patients with a more religious upbringing expressed a greater sense of stigma towards mental illness; ho…
Social phobia in ultra-orthodox Jewish males
Social difficulties of the performing variety are reported by ultra-orthodox male referrals to a psychiatrist in Jerusalem and confirmed by key communal informants. Three cases of social phobia are presented, and the content concerns performing, either speaking on religious matters publicly, a role associated with status and authority, or leading prayers and ceremonies, a role of sanctity and duty. The absence of women sufferers may be understood…

Multisite Employment and Training Program Evaluations
This paper explores the gains from multiplying the number of sites used in experimental evaluation of the effects of employment and training programs. Using a multilevel (hierarchical) statistical framework, the authors analyze the role of site multiplication in three recent program evaluations. Although several experiments have involved substantial numbers of sites, the potential benefits from such strategies are largely unrealized. The authors …
Mysticism and psychosis
This paper examines the link between psychosis and mystical study through the cases of four young men who ‘entered the garden’ of Jewish mystical speculation and subsequently became psychotic. The role of such study as a precipitating factor is suggested, as three had no signs of disturbance prior to their mystical studies. All had suffered personal losses, and their choice of mystical texts and rites showed that their attraction to mysticism inc…
Scrupulosity
The attitudes of Catholicism and Judaism to scrupulosity are presented and the similarity between their management programmes and present‐day behavioural psychotherapy is noted. Two famous cases are presented from 16th‐century Europe and a further four cases from our 20th‐century clinic in Jerusalem. Certain common features are noted, typical of obsessive‐compulsive disorders, while some features, typical of scrupulosity, are best understood by c…
Measuring the Impact of Nit Experiments on Work Effort
In spite of exhaustive research by many analysts on the data generated by the NIT experiments, uncertainty remains over whether work reductions in the experiments should be considered "large" or "small." The authors of this paper argue that this uncertainty arises in part because different analysts have implicitly measured the responses of different groups of individuals exposed to the NIT treatment. The authors use data from the Seattle-Denver e…
