To be a good psychiatrist, aside from being knowledgeable, one must acknowledge and be constantly aware of the importance of ethnic customs and cultural differences. Psychiatrists who emigrated from the former Soviet Union to Israel, who were raised and educated in totalitarian systems, must develop the flexibility necessary to disengage from preconceptions and learn to flourish in a democratic society. The acculturation process is mutual, and native Israelis need to acquaint themselves with all aspects of Russian history and culture, in order to bond with their immigrant colleagues. At the same time, ethnic sensitivity and sincere involvement in all aspects of Israeli culture are crucial for the immigrant's development of a sense of security in the psychiatric profession and for developing the rapport necessary for treating native Israelis.

Trends Neurosci Educ
September 2024
The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA.
Purpose: Does suppression of mirror-invariance in one script generalize to a subsequently learned script?
Method: We examined mirror invariance in writing and recognition among native Latin-scriptal children and adults (n = 181) learning the Hebrew print script (for reading), and among a subset (n = 92) also learning the Hebrew cursive script (for writing). Hebrew-Latin biscriptal Israeli adults (n = 17) provided comparison.
Results: For the most part, mirror invariance was more evident in Hebrew print than in Latin in both writing and recognition among native Latin-scriptals.

Talking to a relative of mine who lives in Israel, we exchanged by email about the Hamas terrorist attack and the brutal re-sponse of the Israeli Armed Forces that affected the entire Pal-estinian population of Gaza. He spoke to me about the moral right of the Jewish people to exist and I replied that the Pales-tinian people also had the moral right to exist. That ended the respectful dialogue we had.
