Recorded lectures

The space of bereavement in Israel, and even more so since October 7, is characterized by ongoing loss, uncertainty, waiting, and repeated exposure to trauma. Mourning processes that have stopped, split, and are experienced as having no clear beginning or possibility of certainty and closure. On this evening of the "Safe Harbor" unit - a training center for the treatment and rehabilitation of victims of kidnapping and ambiguous loss, we focused on the discourse on disruptions in the grieving process, their clinical and social meanings, on the discussion of therapeutic responses, and on the need to develop a language and tools for dealing with these situations.
We dealt with principles and clinical discourse and sought to ask:
What does mourning look like when its basic conditions have been disrupted?

What is necessary to enable support, accompaniment, and rehabilitation in situations of bereavement under exceptional conditions?

On this evening of the "Namal Mivtachim" unit – a training center for the treatment and rehabilitation of victims of kidnapping and vague loss, we stopped together to think about the complex point in time in which we now find ourselves: the moment when the rescue has ended – and the return, with its psychological, family, community and public meanings, is just beginning.
The conversation discussed the difficult questions of the "now":
What is needed after the return of the kidnapped – the living and the dead?
What do rehabilitation processes look like in a reality that still has no clear end?
And how is it right to work therapeutically, communally and systemically at the current crossroads?
