Immediately after the opening of the Programme, the research team was established in order to investigate and analyze the effects of violence, on individuals and families. The purpose of this is also to aid our clinical staff in determining the most effective methods of treatment.
We also hope that knowledge gained from our experience in dealing with large-scale trauma, particularly among children, will be of use to mental health workers elsewhere.

Our on-going projects are:

1- "Trauma, Parenting, and Bedwetting"
2- "The Longitudinal Study for the Long-term Effects of Traumatic Events"
3- "Codification of MMPI2 Test"
4- "Schizophrenia and Social Support"
5- "A Study on Some Neurotic Symptoms of victims of Violence in the Gaza Strip
