Our genealogy follows Ian Hacking\u2019s approach to transient mental illnesses, both illustrating its fertility and expanding its horizon. Thus, we also explore the dynamics that developed in the Israeli mental health community with the advent of \u2018national trauma\u2019: while the vast majority of Israeli psychologists and psychiatrists did not adopt the category, they embraced much of its underlying logic, establishing a link between Israeli identity and the mental harm said to be caused by Palestinian terror. Remarkably, the nexus of national identity and collective psychic vulnerability also prompted the cooperation of Jewish and Palestinian-Israeli mental health scholars seeking to explore the psychological effect that the minority status of Israeli Palestinians had on them during the Al-Aqsa Intifada.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0306312715589846","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,25]],"date-time":"2015-06-25T22:32:10Z","timestamp":1435271530000},"page":"525-545","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Making up \u2018national trauma\u2019 in Israel: From collective identity to collective vulnerability"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Galia","family":"Plotkin-Amrami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Jaime and Joan Constantiner School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Brunner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas and Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7208\/chicago\/9780226189666.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr2-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.nmd.0000116465.99830.ca"},{"key":"bibr3-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/psyc.65.4.289.20240"},{"key":"bibr4-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.108.050393"},{"key":"bibr5-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/california\/9780520235946.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr6-0306312715589846","volume-title":"Living on the Edge: Resilience and Coping with Pressure of Violence and Security Risks","author":"Ayalon O","year":"1990"},{"key":"bibr7-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/0162-895X.00255"},{"key":"bibr8-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3791494"},{"key":"bibr9-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1816383109990221"},{"key":"bibr10-0306312715589846","first-page":"213","volume-title":"Mental Health in Terror\u2019s Shadow: The Israeli Experience","author":"Baum N","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr11-0306312715589846","volume-title":"Die Erfindung des Traumas \u2013 Verflochtene Geschichten","author":"Becker D","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr12-0306312715589846","volume":"6","author":"Bleich A","year":"2004","journal-title":"About Feelings"},{"key":"bibr13-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.290.5.612"},{"key":"bibr14-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0039-3681(82)90012-7"},{"key":"bibr15-0306312715589846","volume-title":"Die Politik des Traumas: Gewalterfahrungen und psychisches Leid in den USA, in Deutschland und im Israel\/Pal\u00e4stina Konflikt","author":"Brunner J","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr16-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J146v09n01_16"},{"key":"bibr17-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.56021\/9780801885846","volume-title":"The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorder","author":"Conrad P","year":"2007"},{"key":"bibr18-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s1532480xads0804_4"},{"key":"bibr19-0306312715589846","volume-title":"Constructing the Self, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy","author":"Cushman P","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr20-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511524059"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr21-0306312715589846","first-page":"196","volume":"34","author":"De Haan I","year":"1998","journal-title":"Netherlands Journal of Social Sciences"},{"key":"bibr22-0306312715589846","volume-title":"L\u2019Empire du Traumatisme: Enqu\u00eate sur la Condition du Victime","author":"Fassin D","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr23-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363461511410239"},{"key":"bibr24-0306312715589846","volume-title":"Therapy Culture: Cultivating Vulnerability in an Uncertain Age","author":"Furedi F","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr25-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(92)90115-7"},{"key":"bibr26-0306312715589846","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.2008.01164.x"},{"key":"bibr27-0306312715589846","unstructured":"Grinfeld MJ (2003) National trauma: What are the consequences of war in the Middle East?
