Cinamon, Rachel Gali

Israeli counsellors facing terrorism : coping and professional development/ created by Rachel Gali Cinamon and Shoshana Hellman - British journal of guidance and counselling Volume 34, number 2 .

The current study examined the characteristics and functioning of 12 Israeli school counsellors located at different stages of professional development who worked in schools affected by terrorist attacks. Semi-structured interviews explored the counsellors’ professional behaviour, activities, and coping with terror and its effects. Consensual qualitative research analysis revealed five major domains: role definition, organisational characteristics, affective reactions, dilemmas, and barriers and resources. Counsellors at different stages of professional development demonstrated different patterns of behaviour across the domains’ categories and subcategories. Implications for research and supervision are discussed.
