“…This result was interpreted by the authors as indicating a possible developmental change, namely, that childhood insecurities in the kibbutz were corrected towards earned security in adulthood. Their interpretation as well as ours is in line with general conceptions regarding the malleability of personal development (Rutter & Rutter, 1992;Werner, 1993;Nathan, Frankel, & Kugelmas, 1993). However, our interpretation should be viewed cautiously, given the cross-sectional nature of our study.…”

The present study exploited a “natural experiment” which covered variations in child-rearing conditions within the communal setting of the Israeli kibbutz. The long-term effects of these variations and of childhood experiences on attachment styles of adults were examined. Three groups of mothers who were raised in the kibbutz participated: (1) a Communal group, mothers raised communally and now raising their child communally; (2) a Familial group, mothers raised in the family and now raising their child in the family, and (3) a Non-continuous group, mothers raised communally and now raising their child in the family. In keeping with studies with infants, we expected the familial group to show the most security, the communal group to show the least security, and the non-continuous to be in between. Participants were 152 women with school-age children. They reported on their attachment styles and availability of significant others during childhood. Additionally, they evaluated the child-rearing context of themselves and of their children. The three groups did not differ in their attachment security or in the reported availability of significant others in childhood. They differed in their evaluations of their own and their children’s child-rearing contexts. Specifically, they had negative evaluations regarding the communal sleeping arrangement. Security of attachment was related to reported availability of significant others in childhood. These results are discussed in view of the differentiation between contextual-distal variables and process-proximal variables.

“…In a general sense, the additional measures reported for the first time in this issue of the Schizophrenia Bulletin appear to support and illuminate the earlier findings related to social adaptation and self-esteem. Index cases tended to score in the more pathological direction on measures of locus of control and sense of coherence (Nathan et al 1993;Frenkel et al 1995, this issue). Index cases (if they had a diagnosis) also had more painful memories of their adolescence (including peer group experiences, sexual experiences, and familial relationships) and of their time in the army (Nathan et al 1993).…”

“…Index cas.es were impaired in virtually all examined areas of psychosocial function, including interpersonal relations, work and play activities, self-esteem, and mood (Nagler and Glueck 1985). As adults, the index cases show the same type of impairment: this is manifest in the locus of control measure (Frenkel et al 1995, this issue), and in their memories of their army experiences (Nathan et al 1993).…”

We report a 25-year followup of a group of 50 children at genetic risk for schizophrenia (by virtue of having a parent with the disorder) and 50 matched controls. The children who eventually developed schizophrenia spectrum disorders, including schizophrenia, were identifiable by cognitive-psychophysiological, neurointegrative, and social/personality traits in the preteenage period. The children at risk were also more likely to develop other Axis I disorders, chiefly affective. Moreover, the risk of Axis I disorders was significantly greater among children raised in the group atmosphere of a kibbutz than among those raised in their own nuclear families in cities and towns in Israel. The study is a unique contribution to knowledge of factors underlying the development of psychopathology.

“…The special kibbutz community has attracted numerous social studies to examine how it differs from regular Israeli society in terms of its effects on various factors, such as mental health (Nathan, Frenkel, & Kugelmass, 1993), children's attachment (Sagi, Van-Ijzendoorn, Aviezer, Donnell, & Mayseless, 1994), the elderly (Leviatan, 1989), happiness and psychological well-being (Elizur, 1995), divorce (Kaffman, Elizur, Shoham, & Gilead, 1992), work productivity (Warhurst, 1996), education (Kaffman, 1993), and sexual harassment (Barak, Pitterman, & Yitzhaki, 1995). Psychological services have been offered extensively to kibbutz members in special centers specializing in work with kibbutz members and kibbutz-related problems.…”

This article discusses the status of counseling psychology in Israel in the context of its unique characteristics. Despite the respected status of psychology as a profession in Israel and its overall acceptance and involvement in numerous social issues, counseling psychology as a separate specialty is nonexistent, especially because of resistance to the clinical psychology specialty. In addition to general subjects where counseling may be applied, special problem areas-including continuous security threats, massive immigration, non-Jewish minorities, issues concerning religiosity, and effects of the Holocaust-create the necessity for counseling psychology interventions. Nevertheless, actual, successful, professional accomplishments make this either unnecessary or call for a change in the counseling-related training of clinical psychologists.
