The unique social and political context of the occupied Palestinian Territories (oPT) hasseveral implications for conducting research there. The cumulative violence of decadesof military occupation has resulted in intergenerational psychological disorders. Due tothe lack of funding and poor economic climate, Palestinians seek psychologicaltreatment through communal and creative outlets. One common method Palestiniancommunities use is summer camps, held across the oPT for children. We investigatedthe cognitive and emotional responses of children attending summer camps, to explorehow effective these camps are in alleviating symptoms of trauma and stress (Oudeh, Nizam, Barron, Abdullah & Willatts, 2014). The current commentary highlights the importance of taking into account the social and political context in which summer camps are delivered. Factors identified for analysis include the geographical situation and the relationship to military violence, the nature and impact of 'area' administrative control, the extent of poverty and dependence on aid, and the local decision-making on the purpose and activities of camps as well as the selection criteria for children who attend camps. Recommendations are provided for future research.

Although codes of conduct and ethics provide guidance, professionals have to exercise their own judgement in increasingly complex and demanding roles and work contexts when applying them to practice. At times, this can lead to conflict between personal, professional and interprofessional ethics due to the dynamics of the person-centred environment they function in. This interdisciplinary book draws on the perspectives of 40 authors from four continents to explore the dynamics of ethical dilemmas using theory, research and practice-based examples. Overall, the book will help to spearhead the debate about these ethical dilemmas, and ways of working with them, in an informed manner. It will make ideal reading for students, academics and professionals
