  • Integrative Psychotherapy With Physicians In the Trenches: Convergence of Cognitive, Existential, and Psychodynamic Processes

    Open Access•Golan Shahar•ARTICLE•Journal of Humanistic Psychology•2026•References: 44

    In this article, I present insights gleaned from over a decade of working in therapy with physicians in the trenches who practice at general hospitals located in an area afflicted by the community and political violence, and recently, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychotherapy with these physicians requires an integrative psychotherapeutic approach that heeds their changing needs. Espousing cognitive-existential psychodynamics (CEP), a theory-based …

  • Covid-19 specific anxiety, perceived stress related to missile attacks, and anxiety “episodes”

    Yarin Szachter, Hagar Shalev et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2025

    Findings support an additive pattern, whereby perceived stress from missile attacks contributed to the onset of an anxiety episode over and above the effect of VSA, while VSA predicted the total number of such episodes. Focusing solely on a single, highly salient stressor may hinder clinicians and policymakers' ability to identify the adverse effect of multiple stressors.

  • Development as a Multi-Systemic Endeavor: Personal and Professional Reflections on S. J. Blatt’s Philosophy of Development

    Open Access•Golan Shahar, Linda C Mayes•ARTICLE•Psychoanalytic Inquiry•2025•References: 34

    We offer personal (life-story based) and professional (theoretical, empirical) reflections on Sidney J. Blatt’s philosophy of human development. By philosophy, we mean the very metaphysical assumptions about human nature and its development throughout the life span, which guided Blatt’s seminal contribution to the areas of psychoanalysis, developmental psychology and psychopathology. Of the various assumptions we discuss, we title the most centra…

    Open Access•Shay Arnon, Golan Shahar et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2024

    Introduction: Continuity of Care (CoC) is central to suicide prevention. The present study aims to review contemporary definitions, operationalization in research, and key components of CoC in the prevention of suicide. Methods: The present study is a narrative review. A thorough search of available literature on CoC and suicidality was conducted. Studies published between 1995 and 2021 were reviewed and selected based on relevance to CoC and sui…

  • Self-Criticism in the General Population: Development and Psychometric Properties of the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire Self-Criticism 4 (DEQ-SC4)

    Ana N Tibubos, Antonia M Werner et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2023

    Self-criticism is a stable personality trait identified as a serious risk factor for psychopathology and weight-related health problems. Therefore, it is relevant to epidemiological research, which requires a relatively brief instrument for measuring trait self-criticism in the general population. The current study introduces a brief measure of self-criticism and presents empirical results that inform on its reliability and validity. Based on the…

  • Consequences of Divorce‐Based Father Absence During Childhood for Young Adult Well‐Being and Romantic Relationships

    Open Access•Hanita Reuven‐Krispin, Dana Lassri et al.•ARTICLE•Family Relations•2021

    Objective This research explores the implications of father absence due to divorce on young adults' well‐being and romantic relationships. Background Studies have demonstrated the negative implications of father absence, a common consequence of divorce, on children's development. However, previous research has not systematically compared complete versus partial father absence. Method Young adults who, as children, experienced complete ( n = 38) o…

  • Parents' malevolent personification of mass vaccination solidifies vaccine hesitancy

    Open Access•Gal Noyman-Veksler, David Greenberg et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Health Psychology•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 41

    Parental hesitancy to vaccinate their children derails the success of mass vaccination campaigns. We examined the effect of parents' personification of the vaccinating agency on vaccine hesitancy (i.e. negative or positive mind change) in 555 parents in a mass wild poliovirus vaccination campaign. Parents were assessed before and after the campaign on attitudes toward vaccination and the vaccinating agency ("The Israeli MoH is caring" vs "hysteri…

  • Self‐criticism, interpersonal conditions, and biosystemic inflammation in suicidal thoughts and behaviors within mood disorders: A bio‐cognitive‐interpersonal hypothesis

    Open Access•Golan Shahar, Megan L Rogers et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2020

    We review the theoretical and empirical literature on the role of self‐concept in suicidal behavior in the context of mood disorders (i.e., unipolar depression and bipolar spectrum disorders). The main themes emanating from this review are then juxtaposed against (a) the Interpersonal‐Psychological Theory of Suicide and (b) biological research on the role of inflammatory processes in suicidality. Such a juxtaposition paves the way for a bio‐cogni…

  • The subjective–agentic personality sector (Saps): Introduction to the special issue on self, identity, and psychopathology

    Open Access•Golan Shahar•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2020

    This special issue is predicated upon the premise that there exists a subjective–agentic personality sector (SAPS) that is crucially relevant to the understanding and treatment of psychopathology. SAPS is often overlooked by “trait” models in personality psychology. It is comprised of “hot” cognitions about one's self and identity as they unfold throughout the life span and are brought to bear on interpersonal relationships. There are four ways i…

  • The Four-Cluster Spectrum of Mind-Body Interrelationships: An Integrative Model

    Open Access•Yacov Ezra, Oded Hammerman et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2019

    Despite the shift toward a biopsychosocial paradigm of medicine, many physicians and mental health professionals (MHPs) find it difficult to treat patients with psycho-somatic disorders. This situation is particularly troublesome due to the high prevalence of these conditions. Although progress has been made over the last few decades in understanding mechanisms underlying the mind-body relationship, disparities remain between research and its cli…

    ( 초록 ) 수많은 이론적-철학적 명제들이 Blatt의 광범위하고 탁월한 학문적 업적으로부터 나왔다. 그의 주요 연구 주제들은 (1) 인지, 특히 현실에 대한 마음의 지형도 혹은 표상; (2) 인본주의적인 요소들의 영향 (예컨데, 에이전시, 성장에 대한 열망, 게슈탈트, 균형 욕구 그리고 회복 탄력성); (3) 프로이트가 말한 역동적 무의식에 대한 끝없는 통찰, 이렇게 요약할 수 있을 것이다. 철학적 입장에서, Blatt은 ‘인지-인본주의적 정신역동’이라고 부를만한, 통합적 역량과 추종을 불허하는 업적들을 남겼다

  • Role of perceived social support in depressive and somatic symptoms experienced by Bedouin Arab and Jewish Israeli undergraduates

    Open Access•Sarah Abu-Kaf, Golan Shahar et al.•ARTICLE•Transcultural Psychiatry•2019•References: 46

    Elevated levels of depressive and somatic symptoms have been documented among college students. Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the number of Bedouin Arab students studying at institutions of higher education in southern Israel. To date, research on coping and mental health problems among students who are members of this ethnic minority has been limited. This study examined the role of three aspects of perceived social su…

  • Depressive personality vulnerability in chronic physical pain: Centrality of sociotropy

    Open Access•Golan Shahar, Sheera F Lerman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2018

    OBJECTIVE: Chronic physical pain is one of modern medicine's principal challenges. Recently, there has been a keen research interest in the role of depressive personality vulnerability (DPV) in the course of chronic pain. This is the first attempt to examine the role of three leading DPV dimensions-sociotropy, autonomy, and self-criticism-in chronic pain. METHOD: Chronic pain patients (N = 428) were assessed four times as to their pain, disabilit…

  • The Nature of the Beast: Commentary on “Can There Be a Recovery-Oriented Diagnostic Practice?”

    Open Access•Golan Shahar•ARTICLE•Journal of Humanistic Psychology•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 3

    Pavlo, Flanagam, Leither, and Davidson attempt to reconcile the recovery movement in mental health service with a formal diagnostic practice is as courageous as it is timely. Acknowledging this, I note several points of convergence and divergence with the authors’ views. Points of convergence include (1) the inevitability of a diagnostic system when working with (severe) mental illness, (2) the importance of going beyond signs and symptoms in cap…

    Past research has produced convincing evidence for the association between perceived societal threat and political conservatism. Based on the view of political worldviews and threat perceptions as multifaceted constructs, the present study suggests that certain types of perceived threat are actually associated with the endorsement of more politically liberal positions. Employing a three-wave naturalistic design, we examined the unique longitudina…

  • Undetected scars? Self-criticism, attachment, and romantic relationships among otherwise well-functioning childhood sexual abuse survivors

    Dana Lassri, Patrick Luyten et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2017

    Findings suggest that CSA may lead to elevated levels of self-criticism, which in turn may be linked with reduced satisfaction in romantic relationships, setting in motion a vicious cycle involving relationship satisfaction and attachment avoidance. (PsycINFO Database Record

  • Chronic pain under missile attacks: Role of pain catastrophizing, media, and stress-related exposure

    Gal Noyman-Veksler, Hagar Shalev et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2017

    Media exposure to acute stress may render chronic pain patients more vulnerable to experiencing pain and depressive symptoms, depending on their use of pain-based catastrophizing. High catastrophizers may attend more to outside threats, amplifying the sensory and affective aspects of pain they experience. Perceived stress also plays a significant role in eliciting depressive symptoms in this population. (PsycINFO Database Record

    A number of broad-based, theoretical-philosophical tenets are to be gleaned from Sidney Blatt’s voluminous, extensive, and unique scholarly work. Dominant themes in Blatt’s life and work include (1) his fascination with cognition, particularly mental maps, or representations, of reality; (2) the influence of humanistic values (e.g., agency, need for growth, gestalts, need for balance, and an optimistic focus on resilience); and (3) a steadfast ad…

  • Interpersonal relatedness, self-definition, and their motivational orientation during adolescence: A theorical and empirical integration

    Golan Shahar, Christopher C Henrich et al.•ARTICLE•Developmental Psychology•2003•Cited by: 19•References: 68

    The authors examined a theoretical model linking interpersonal relatedness and self-definition (S.J. Blatt, 1974), autonomous and controlled regulation (E. L. Deci & R. M. Ryan, 1985), and negative and positive life events in adolescence (N = 860). They hypothesized that motivational orientation would mediate the effects of interpersonal relatedness and self-definition on life events. Self-criticism, a maladaptive form of self-definition, predict…

To address this need, comprehensive analyses were conducted of data from the Menninger Psychotherapy Research Project (Wallerstein 1986). These analyses addressed three questions: (1) What are the differences in outcome between psychoanalysis (PSA) and supportive…

  • Professional Feelings as Emotional Labor

The study examines how support from parents, school, and friends could serve as protective, despite the interactive risk effects of witnessing community and terror violence. In general, results indicate that support from parents operated as a protect…

After detailing arguments pro and con, we conclude that the unconsidered use of parcels is never warranted, while, at the same time, the considered use of parcels cannot be dismissed out of hand. In large part, the decision to parcel or not depends on one's philosophical stance regarding scientific inquiry (e.g.,…

That is, with time sufferers constituted a mental representation of SLE that in itself has the power to influence the…

  • Do Depressive Symptoms Erode Self-esteem in Early Adolescence

    Golan Shahar, Christopher C Henrich•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2010

    We hypothesized that in early—but not mid or late—adolescence, self-esteem is malleable (i.e., rank-order instable) and is particularly susceptible to the effect of depressive symptoms. Results of a latent variable, cross-lagged, structural equation modeling analysis of data from the first two waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health; N = 4520) were consistent with the two hypotheses. Findings highlight the need t…

In general, results indicate that support from parents operated as a protect…

    Open Access•Golan Shahar, John H Porcerelli et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of the American…•2010•References: 51

    In an attempt to illustrate the relevance of psychoanalytic theory and research to behavior medicine, an empirical investigation was conducted of females treated at a high-risk pregnancy specialty clinic (N = 58). Drawing from psychoanalytic object relations theory, it was hypothesized and confirmed that use of projection as a defense mechanism during pregnancy, superimposed on simplistic object relations, predicted an erosion of patient-provider…

    Open Access•John P Barile, Kathryn E Grogan et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Early Adolescence•2011•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    This report investigated the potential role of gender in moderating the effects of terror attack exposure on depression symptoms in middle school students from Dimona, Israel ( N = 90). Specifically, the effects of three aspects of terror attacks were investigated: physical exposure, relational exposure, and media exposure. Ninety early adolescents were assessed for terror exposure and depression before and after a suicide bombing in a town marke…
