BECOME A MEMBER of the association and gain access to: A Diverse Network of Professionals Publication Opportunities Clients Who are Searching for Clinical Resources Verified Clinicians Guidance/Support in Building Professional Development/CEU a Private Practice 072-3976500 | gethelpisrael.com Introduction 5 Get Help Israel -The Israel Association of Mental Health Professionals – serves a dual purpose. For clients who are seeking English-speaking mental health service providers, we are a trusted resource helping clients access the best services for their mental health needs. For English-speaking mental health professionals (including immigrant and veteran therapists alike) we provide a formal and friendly framework that seeks to advance professional development opportunities in English, and gives support and guidance in maintaining ethical, legal, and competent mental health services. In addition to assisting English-speakers find the right help in their mother tongue, GHI consults with dozens of organizations, schools, and government offices to provide customized referrals for their individual needs. This includes over 50 Gap year programs, Aliyah organizations, and various embassies/consulates of English-speaking countries. The association is recognized and respected for its rigorous verification of the professionals' credentials in accordance with Israeli law. GHI is expanding its reach to mental health professionals and organizations around the world in becoming the go-to referral source for people moving to or living in Israel. GHI is also expanding community programs to provide affordable and accessible therapeutic services to English-speakers. An example of such programming is The Lone Soldier Program, providing subsidized therapy to lone soldiers through qualified participating mental health professionals. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE The guide is divided into the following sections: Private therapists, psychiatrists, and Support groups and anonymous life coaches meetings Private and subsidized treatment Information on navigating the public facilities mental health system in Israel Hospital-based psychiatric facilities Hotlines and emergency phone numbers Subsidized mental health services The private therapists, psychiatrists, and life coaches in this directory are members of the association and have all been verified*. 6 Introduction What is checked in the verification of the professionals listed? • A Post-graduate degree in mental health (MA, MSW, PhD, PsyD, MD, MEd, MFT, etc.) from an accredited university, or for life coaches, a coaching certificate from a recognized coaching program • Ensure that the title used by the professional is in accordance with the law in Israel. GHI verifies that the therapists with professional titles that require licensing in Israel (Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Social Workers) show a copy of that license • Verify licenses from abroad for those therapists who state that they hold a license outside of Israel • Request to see copies of any additional credentials that the therapist has stated on the profile We focus on verification for 3 reasons: 1. The client does not always know to ask, or may not feel comfortable to ask the therapist to see his/her credentials. The therapists listed in the GHI directory have all had their credentials checked to meet the association's requirements as stated above. 2. The titles "therapist" and "psychotherapist" are not regulated in Israel; therefore anyone can represent themselves as such and start seeing clients without adequate training in the field. GHI serves as a filter, providing the public with access to qualified therapists. 3. While psychotherapists, marriage and family therapists, and counseling psychologists/mental health counsellors currently do not have a government licensing body in Israel, those listed in the directory have post-graduate qualifications in their areas of specialty from accredited universities, some are licensed or license eligible in their country of origin, and are members of professional associations in Israel and/or abroad. We hope that you find this directory useful and whether you are a therapist seeking to build your professional network, or a client seeking services, GHI is committed to positive growth and assisting English-speakers navigate the Israeli mental health system. If you have great ideas that you think GHI should consider in the future, don’t hesitate to contact our main office at [email protected]. *While Get Help Israel seeks to verify the factual accuracy regarding information pertaining to the therapists listed in its directory, verification is limited to the credentials of the professionals. Persons considering contacting any of the therapists listed in the directory are urged to conduct their independent investigation and evaluation before retaining services. Get Help Israel aims to provide content that is true and accurate, however, we give no assurance

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948
    [Intelligence Service (Arab Section)] June 30, 1948 Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948 Contents 1. General introduction. 2. Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a. At the time of the UN declaration [resolution] regarding the division of Eretz Yisrael, the following figures applied within the borders of the Hebrew state: 1.

  • Down with Britain, Away with Zionism: the 'Canaanites'
    DOWN WITH BRITAIN, AWAY WITH ZIONISM: THE ‘CANAANITES’ AND ‘LOHAMEY HERUT ISRAEL’ BETWEEN TWO ADVERSARIES Roman Vater* ABSTRACT: The imposition of the British Mandate over Palestine in 1922 put the Zionist leadership between a rock and a hard place, between its declared allegiance to the idea of Jewish sovereignty and the necessity of cooperation with a foreign ruler. Eventually, both Labour and Revisionist Zionism accommodated themselves to the new situation and chose a strategic partnership with the British Empire. However, dissident opinions within the Revisionist movement were voiced by a group known as the Maximalist Revisionists from the early 1930s. This article analyzes the intellectual and political development of two Maximalist Revisionists – Yonatan Ratosh and Israel Eldad – tracing their gradual shift to anti-Zionist positions. Some questions raised include: when does opposition to Zionist politics transform into opposition to Zionist ideology, and what are the implications of such a transition for the Israeli political scene after 1948? Introduction The standard narrative of Israel’s journey to independence goes generally as follows: when the British military rule in Palestine was replaced in 1922 with a Mandate of which the purpose was to implement the 1917 Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish ‘national home’, the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine gained a powerful protector. In consequence, Zionist politics underwent a serious shift when both the leftist Labour camp, led by David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), and the rightist Revisionist camp, led by Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), threw in their lot with Britain. The idea of the ‘covenant between the Empire and the Hebrew state’1 became a paradigm for both camps, which (temporarily) replaced their demand for a Jewish state with the long-term prospect of bringing the Yishuv to qualitative and quantitative supremacy over the Palestinian Arabs under the wings of the British Empire.
