Based on ten years of interviews, observations, clinical data, and media reports, Beit-Hallahmi (psychology, U. of Haifa) explores the growing phenomenon of Israelis' weathering the current cultural upheaval by seeking personal salvation in Judaism, new religious sects or cults, pop psychology movements, and the occult.
