Are "Sense of Coherence" and "Hope" Related Constructs? Examining These Concepts in Three Cultural Groups in Israel.
CONCLUSION: Overall, in spite of some overlap between these concepts in the Jewish groups it seems that SOC and hope have their own unique characteristics and, thus, stand as separate resources when facing stress situation.

Finally, some psychoeducational suggestions are offered, focusing on cultural sensitivity. PMID: 29248902 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Israel Journal of Psychiatry and Related Sciences)

It was replaced by a faith in the efficacy of community care and treatment. Yet for a variety of reasons the new community care system fell far short of its initial promise. Advocates failed to understand that the problems of persons with serious and persistent disabilities were different from those people with mild and moderate disorders. The belief that residence in the community would promote adjustment and integration was illusory and did not ...

Recovering Citizenship.
Authors: Rowe M, Davidson L Abstract Recovery as a process through which people reclaim their lives even while continuing to experience symptoms of mental illness has at times been misunderstood or misinterpreted, including being used as an excuse for cutting needed services and supports in the guise of allowing people to pursue their own personal "recovery journeys." In delivering a message of hope to individuals and fostering initiatives to counter the debilitating impact of clinical pessimism, recovery literature has also, at times, paid less attention to the material, social, cultural, political and ec...

There are, however, some encouraging signs that the long overdue paradigm shift may be getting closer. PMID: 28856876 [PubMed] (Source: Israel Journal of Psychiatry and Related Sciences)

The Transition from Psychiatric Hospitalization to Community Living: Local and Current Challenges.
Authors: Hasson-Ohayon I Abstract While extensive efforts have been made in recent decades to enhance community mental health services around the world and in Israel, less attention has been given to the challenging transitional period from psychiatric hospitalization to community living. The current paper reviews the literature on discharge planning programs, which shows that using an interdisciplinary team and adapting a case management model to include overlapping relationships during the process of changing settings might lead to cost-effective outcomes. It is argued here that the current Israeli refor...
