TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Teaching clinical social work under occupation: listening to the voices of Palestinian social work students JO - Journal of teaching in social work A1 - Kokaliari, Efrosini A1 - Berzoff, Joan A1 - Byers, David S. A1 - Fareed, Anan A1 - Berzoff-Cohen, Jake A1 - Hreish, Khalid SP - 140 EP - 159 VL - 36 IS - 2 N2 - The authors were invited to teach clinical social work in the Palestinian West Bank. In order to teach, we designed a study exploring how 65 Palestinian social work students described the psychological and social effects of working under occupation. Students described social stressors of poverty, unemployment, lack of infrastructure, violence, imprisonment, separation of families, and severe constraints on travel. They identified depression, suicide, anxiety, and war-related trauma as emerging from these conditions. Many experienced the same psychosocial problems as their clients in coping with harassment and delays at checkpoints. Implications for teaching social work theory and practice are discussed.
