BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

We are proud to announce that Dr. Flor Guttman has joined the Board of Shiluv.  Dr. Guttman is a psychiatrist and director of the Day Program at the Talbiyeh Mental Health Center in Jerusalem.  She is also in charge of the training program there for medical students.  Dr. Guttman is both a certified family therapist and supervisor. We welcome her with open arms.

 Andi Arnovitz held a parlour evening at  her  home to inaugurate Shiluv’s new campaign of “Adopt-a-Family.” Donors are encouraged to make an annual contribution to Shiluv that will subsidize the cost of a year’s treatment for a family seeking help, but without the means to afford the treatment.  The evening was a great success and many thanks go to Andi and David for their hospitality and help.

 

 

STAFF HIGHLIGHTS

 

Shiluv was well represented at the International Marital and Family Therapy Association’s conference that was held in Washington, D.C. in the summer.  Anita Bardin and Debby Porten addressed the question of the dynamics between supervisor and supervisee when each represents a diametrically opposite stance on issues not directly related to supervision, but none-the-less has found its way into the dialogue, e.g. pro/anti- abortion. Judy Katz-Charny screened our teaching tape and followed that with a workshop.

 Anita Bardin, Joel Comet and Debby Porten have written a chapter “Integrating EMDR and Family Therapy: Treating the Traumatized Child” for a textbook on Trauma and Family Therapy, edited by Dr. Francine Shapiro.  The book is in press. 

 

 

DONOR’S RESPOND

 

 The Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation has supported Shiluv since 1993. We were recently awarded an additional 3-year grant towards treatment of families and couples in distress.  We gratefully acknowledge the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation’s renewal of their funding and belief in and encouragement of our work.
