Links with the West Bank

Thank you for publishing Anna Costin’s interesting article ‘Psychology in Gaza and the West Bank’ (May 2006). I recently went to the West Bank as part of an ongoing EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (HAP) project, at the invitation of East Jerusalem YMCA. As Anna Costin notes, there is a tremendous need for further training, especially at a postgraduate level, and for the development of academic and clinical links. Colleagues from Palestine, the HAP project and the UK have good clinical links, and we are currently developing academic links, including the exploration of PhD research.
