Religious-Ethnic Differences in Prevalence and Correlates of Suicidal Ideation and Attempts Among Israeli Vocational Education Students.
CONCLUSIONS: Minority youth at VET schools are at greater risk of experiencing suicidal ideation and attempting suicide compared to non-minority students.

Cultural Impact on SAD: Social Anxiety Disorder among Ethiopian and Former Soviet Union Immigrants to Israel, in Comparison to Native-born Israelis.
CONCLUSION: Immigration per se is not a universal risk factor of SAD and ethnological-cultural factors do contribute specifically to SAD. A possible psychological mediator between culture and the susceptibility to SAD are the interdependence and independent self-construals. When treating immigrants, clinicians and health care providers are advised to consider the effect of cultural influence on the mental well-being and integration process of immigrants in to their host country.

Assessing the Use of the Child Attachment Interview in a Sample of Israeli Jewish Children.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical sample concordance rate, which was lower than in previous studies, indicates that parental concordance rates should be further investigated using different samples and countries. The study's findings regarding the difference that can be found between parental attachment classifications show the instrument's relevance in cases which the parental representations may differ. In these cases, using an instrument that does not examine the attachment toward both parents might not suffice. Study limitations and further implications are discussed.

Prevalence of ADHD among 7-9-Year-Old Children in Israel. A Comparison between Jewish and Arab Populations.
CONCLUSIONS: The rates of ADHD in school age children among both Jews and Arabs fall within the average rate in other countries. The high difference between teachers' and parental assessment of ADHD in the Jewish population emphasizes that ADHD diagnosis should rely on the joint behavioral assessment of both. The prevalence of ADHD in Jewish early school age children is slightly higher than in Arab children and the inattentive type is the most common. There is a discrepancy between teachers' and parents' evaluation of children's behavior in the Jewish population, but this discrepancy is less in the Arab population. ...

Simulation of Mental Disorders: I. Concepts, Challenges and Animal Models.
Authors: Gold A, Dudai Y Abstract The complexity of the human brain and the difficulties in identifying and dissecting the biological, social and contextual underpinnings of mental functions confound the study of the etiology and pathophysiology of mental disorders. Large-scale computer simulation of the human brain was recently proposed as a method to circumvent some of these difficulties. In this two-partpaper, we discuss selected conceptual and pragmatic issues pertaining to the mental illness simulation in general and computer simulation in particular. We address the merits and limitations of two gener...
