Abstract:

This lecture should be taken as part of the current innovative approach to psychotherapy, directed to address masses of people who might need psychological assistance. I will present a universal short protocol mainly based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach, created for psychotherapy and implemented and adapted to a resilience prevention intervention. Based on the therapeutic protocol, an intervention that integrates emotional, physiological and cognitive behavioral techniques as well as attentional regulation, mainly mindfulness, was developed to build resilience in the community. Thousands of teachers and counselors have trained, to deliver resilience to their students (~1,000,000 nationwide). The program has been endorsed by the Ministry of Education of Israel to be part of the regular curriculum of every school. A series of empirical studies has shown the effectiveness of the program. This cost-effective approach, delivered by the teachers decreased by 50% the development of posttraumatic responses in children following severe stressful exposure. The intervention is adapted to different age groups and cultures (Israeli Muslims, Refugees, Orthodox Jews and a pilot in schools in Norway).
