TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Psychopathology and management of hospitalized suicidal Ethiopian adolescents in Israel JO - Israel journal of medical sciences A1 - Ratzoni, Gideon A1 - Blumensohn, R.

They were part of a large Jewish Ethiopian immigration to Israel, many of them children and adolescents who came on their own, having left their families behind. Despite difficulties, most of the Ethiopian adolescent immigrants have integrated into Israeli society; however, some have developed psychiatric problems requiring treatment. We describe the psychopathology and management of a group of immigrant Ethiopian adolescents hospitalized for suicidal behavior.
