The Model – Psychological Aspects of Corona Times in Israel
Figure 1, Psychological Aspects of the Corona Times in Israel, presents a model of the main themes and their interrelations that were identified in this study and discussed above, based on an analysis of the interviews and articles in this issue. This section summarizes the themes and emphasizes their interrelations.
As the model shows, the first three themes —the Covid-19 experience, technology, and the political situation in Israel — are interrelated and constitute the three main dimensions of this systemic crisis. This first three themes of the crisis created challenges for both patients and therapists, who employed talent, creativity, and resourcefulness to overcome these challenges, as Sheerie concluded in her article: “…. creativity and ‘thinking out of the box’, were the main healing factors identified as essential for coping with the strict hospital regulations related to groups.”
