I Was a Psychologist at Israel's Military Intelligence. Here's Why the Unit Keeps Getting It Wrong
When I was hired by Military Intelligence, I was told they were interested in my work in cross-cultural psychology. What I found was a body so in the thrall of its own internal culture that it couldn't listen to a contrary voice
From August 2021 until January 2022 I worked as a psychologist in the research unit of Military Intelligence. I am a clinical psychologist by profession, and a researcher in the field of cross-cultural psychology. The invitation to work with MI came because they felt that I represented a perspective different from what they were familiar with. I was the only psychologist in the unit, and to the best of my knowledge, psychologists haven’t lasted in the system for very long.
