Evaluating a Therapeutic Intervention Programme

For alienated youth and their families in a voluntary institutional framework.

This work aims to contribute to the present understanding of the problems and characeristics of alienated Arab youth and their families in Israel. It is divided in two sections: the first describes the social, economic and political context of Arab society, now in an intensive process of transition; the second part presents an alternative community-based project, reviews and evaluates the therapeutic concepts, intervention models and the unique nature of the institution. The rehabilitation process in the institution appears to be based on religious belief which, out of ideology, ignores negative labels.
