Prof. Jonathan Handelzalts Ph.D.

I’m a supervising clinical psychologist working in a private practice and as an associate Professor of Clinical Psychology. I teach clinical psychology at the Tel-Aviv Yaffo academic college and in the school of health professions in the Tel-Aviv University. I'm an Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychology at the Psychaitry Department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.

As a psychologist I work from a dynamic-humanistic perspective. I see behavior as based on the unconscious but also on other major forces such as the need for self fulfillment and the quest for personal meaning. I like to see myself as a companion on the way that helps people use the crisis or difficulty that brought them to treatment as an opportunity for change and growth.

As a researcher, my main interests are the study of psychological treatment effectiveness, personality assessment as used in clinical and occupational practices and medical psychology.
