In this episode of the "Three Who Know" podcast from Kan 11, hosted by Uri Gottlieb, a new Israeli study is presented that deals with the unique trauma of the families of the kidnapped following the mass kidnapping during the Hamas attack on October 7. The conversation features Dr. Einat Yehene, a faculty member and senior lecturer at the School of Psychology at the Tel Aviv-Yafo Academic College, and head of the rehabilitation department in the health system of the Abductees' Families Headquarters.

In this episode of the "Life After Death" podcast, hosted by Maayan Zussman, we open a discussion on a phenomenon called 'ambiguous loss.' By asking what the family members of abductees, the family members of Alzheimer's/terminally ill patients, and young children who have lost a family member have in common, we examine a situation of ambiguous loss - a mismatch between a person's physical presence and psychological presence. Ambiguous loss occurs in places where there is no clear definition of the situation, and there is no known finality. And there is - well - ambiguity. A loss that cannot always be defined. The podcast features Dr. Einat Yahana, a lecturer and senior researcher on ambiguous loss who currently serves, among other things, as head of the rehabilitation department at the Abductees' Families Headquarters.

In an episode of the N12 podcast "One Day at a Time," hosted by Elad Shamchiof, the question arises of what the treatment of the families of the kidnapped looks like. Since October 7, the families of the kidnapped have been fighting non-stop for the return of their loved ones from captivity in Gaza. But in the midst of this struggle, the family members themselves are also experiencing distress and difficulty and need a listening ear to help them take care of themselves. The professionals at the Families Headquarters do exactly that - ask, listen and try to understand what exactly these families, who are in an unprecedented situation, are going through. The podcast features Dr. Einat Yahana, a clinical neuropsychologist and expert rehabilitation psychologist, senior lecturer at the Tel Aviv-Yafo Academic College and head of the rehabilitation department at the Families Headquarters.

In an episode of N12's Unholy podcast, hosted by Yonit Levy and Jonathan Friedland, Yonit Levy speaks with CNN anchor and foreign affairs commentator Biana Goludriga about the joy and relief that has followed the return of seven more abductees. Ahead of the expected release of three more on Saturday, they summarize the week's key developments and speak with Dr. Einat Yahana, head of rehabilitation at the Abductees' Families Forum. Together, they examine the short- and long-term effects of captivity on the returned abductees - and on the nation as a whole.
