Abstracts of Current Research :

Targets of change and interventive methods in social work:An empirically based prototype for developing practice guidelines: Empirically-based practice guidelines for social work intervention are needed. Practice guidelines must include two fundamental components: (1) a classification of the targets (outcomes) of intervention; and (2) for each of the targets, an array of alternative interventions from which to select the nest fit. The research is based on the outcomes and interventions that were investigated in published social work studies of effectiveness over the past several years. Both theoretical and empirical procedures will be utilized to classify outcomes into target categories and derive the intervention alternatives whose effectiveness was assessed in relation to the outcomes. The classifications to be obtained will be used as a prototype for further development and testing of practice guidelines.

Research Interests:

 Child development in group-care settings: Focus on social and emotional development in the first three years of life. Toddlers' peer interaction and "concern for others" in a group setting.      Child rearing ideologies and child development ethno-theories in different cultural contexts.    Quality of Care for infants and toddlers: social policy and standards of care.

 

Research Projects:

Parents' and Educators' ideas, perceptions and definitions of "quality of care" in child care settings in different cultures.

Social and emotional development of young children in day-care: The effects of Caregivers' beliefs and behavior.

Abstracts of Current Research :
Parents' and Educators' ideas : Cultural differences in child rearing ideology as expressed in the developmental goals and practices of parents and educators in different cultural groups are examined through semi-structured interviews and a questionaire.

Peer interaction and emotional expression of young children:  :The hopes and anxieties concerning the development of children led researchers studying the effects of child care to focus on aspects of care which are associated with developmental outcomes in terms of achievement of competence or adjustment. The cognitive educational objectives of Early Childhood programs in most Western societies center on intellectual development and later school achievement. In this study, we examine the relationship between the beliefs and behavior of caregivers in Day Care with their children,  and these children's engagement in conflicts as well as in positive peer interaction. The effects of an intervention program which focuses on caregivers' attitudes and behaviors are examined.

Academic Profile: 

Ph.D. 1969, Univ. of California, Berkeley; Lect. 1970; Sen. Lect. 1974; Assoc. Prof. 1980; Prof. 1988.

 

Research Interests:

Developing psycho-social applications according to kabbalistic paradigm of tzimtzum (contraction) as any interdisciplinary framework and basis for the comparative study of psychology and religion.

 

Research Projects:

The study of the psycho-social foundations of Hasidic Kabbalism.

Cabalic sexuality and creativity.

 

Abstracts of Current Research :

The study of the psycho-social foundations of Hasidic Kabbalism:Research has focused on the re-biographic time perception inherent in Midrashic narrativism, on the psychological bridge between rationalism and mysticism available in the PaRDeS and on the dialogic system regulating the yetzer-yetzira continuum.

Cabalic sexuality and creativity:The guiding assumption of my current research begins from the observation that Western campaigns for expressing sexuality (e.g., homosexuality) and repressing sexuality (e.g., harassment) are largely identical in their assertive-aggressive behavior patterns. A thesis is presented according to which the erotic creation myth (cosmogony) of emanation may have exerted paradigmatic impacts on the Western "phallic-erective" style of sexuality, creativity, and assertive-aggressive ("aggressertive") communication patterns. The cabalic erotic cosmogony of contraction (tzimtzum) is then introduced as an alternative paradigm for sexuality, creativity, and communication that comprises the following components: (a) Creation, procreation, and creativity begin from an act of self-contraction to evacuate space for a union with another creative partner. (b) The sequential notion of yetzer (sexual desire) leading to yetzira (spiritual creativity) is possible via a transformational process that includes the ecstatic experience of a spiritual orgasm (devekut). The Midrashic-cabalic exercise of recombining letters for reaching ecstatic devekut is portrayed as archetypical conditioning mantra for therapeutic rebiographing. Illustrative clinical applications for promoting sexual equality and for treating impotency are briefly discussed.

Key Words:

Tzimtzum; sexuality and Judaism
