Page 318 - Total War on PTSD

multiple research projects as a research fellow under the auspices of the Israel Center of Research Excellence (I-CORE) for the Investigation of Mass Trauma, located at Tel Aviv University, Israel and headed by world-renowned trauma researcher, Prof. Zahava Solomon. In my studies, I have explored long-term effects of trauma, primarily among combat Veterans and repatriated prisoners of war. Employing qualitative research methodologies, such as phenomenological and narrative inquiries, I seek to hear the stories of trauma survivors and lonely individuals in the first person with the hope to understand and shed light on the idiosyncratic intricacies of traumatized as well as lonely individuals' lived experiences. In my quantitative research endeavors, I also seek to understand the complex psychosocial, and at times psychobiological, mechanisms through which trauma takes its toll decades after the war. I have published numerous papers and book chapters on these topics in leading journals and books in the field.
