Existential experiences of hope following parental loss during adolescence
The last decades have marked a shift in bereavement paradigm from focusing on pathology and disintegration into an integrated model of grief presented through the concept of continuing bonds.

Workplace spirituality in social services departments
The current study, which included the participation of 179 social workers in Israel, aimed to enrich two primary research fields, spirituality in organizations and work attitudes, the latter of which focuses mainly on public administration organizations.

The Bipolarity of Adolescents' Feelings toward Their Parents with Various Illnesses and Disabilities
The study examined feelings toward parents among Israeli Jewish adolescents with disabled parents (research group, n = 182) and non-disabled parents (control group, n = 285).

Bipolarity, i.e., coexistence of positive and negative feelings toward parents, was found …
