Entrepreneurial Leadership in Crisis: Developing Creative Therapeutic Methods Post-October 7 in Israel
摘要
The continuous improvement of therapeutic practices remains a central goal in the field of mental health care. Innovations in therapy often aim to enhance accessibility, overcome barriers to effective interventions, and improve overall efficacy. These advancements may include the introduction of entirely new interventions, the adaptation of established therapeutic strategies, or modifications designed to increase retention, accelerate response times, and optimize impact. The events of October 7th necessitated a rapid evolution in therapeutic approaches within Israel’s mental healthcare framework. This article explores the innovative therapeutic strategies developed in response to these events, examining changes in treatment settings, the introduction of new therapeutic protocols, and the adaptation of interventions for a previously unrecognized population in the Israeli therapeutic landscape. The study explores how the October 7 events in Israel accelerated therapeutic innovation, urging researchers and therapists to adapt practices and models to address evolving client needs in times of crisis. The results identify three key areas of innovation: creative and playful therapeutic approaches, innovative therapeutic spaces, and the development of a new protocol for an entirely new population affected by the crisis. This perspective on innovations in therapeutic interventions offers a fresh and distinct understanding of how crises, such as the events of October 7, accelerate therapeutic Entrepreneurial Leadership.
