PTSD presentation, Psychology Seminar

At the end of the fall semester, each student in my Honors Psychology seminar gave a final presentation on a research topic of her choice. My four classmates chose fascinating subjects: leadership psychology in the IDF; eating disorder prevalence among ethnic groups in Israel; attitudes towards pre-natal screening in Israel; coping strategies in response to trauma.

My presentation was entitled "Exposure to Terrorism and the Development of PTSD: Contemporary Israeli research on Risk factors, Protective factors, and Coping strategies". For my presentation I prepared a handout for my classmates, which you can view on Adobe by clicking on the title of this blog entry ("PTSD presentation, Psychology Seminar"). The handout (which is basically an outline of my presentation) is not as polished as a paper would be; for a complete list of references feel free to contact me at DeborahHemel@yahoo.com.
