Consultation

After my medical studies (1974 – 1981), I worked for military psychiatry in the context of fulfilling my military service (1981 – 1983) and was trained as a psychiatrist (1983 – 1987). In 1987 I finished my training as a psychiatrist at the Sinai Center. There I then worked as a psychiatrist until March 2022 (almost 35 years). The Sinai Center is an expert institution for the treatment of the consequences of 'man made disaster'. I worked for the outpatient clinic, the day treatment and the clinic. In collaboration with fellow care providers, I have developed the clinic into an expert center for the intensive treatment of trauma-related problems. In general, the desired result is achieved and the clients were very satisfied.

 

I have been able to practice the full breadth of the medical specialty psychiatry. In addition to client-oriented work, I was a trainer for nurse specialists, acted as acting first physician, performed consultative work in the field of trauma-related problems for various organizations and was a teacher at advanced training courses in mental health care.

I come from a Jewish family, in which the lasting consequences of the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War were noticeable. My parents, despite their grief, also managed to deal with their past in an admirably constructive way. Throughout my professional development and career, my family backgrounds have played a role. I have developed a specific treatment, aimed at the children of victims of violence (see elsewhere on this site). I published two books about this (see elsewhere on this site).
