Life in quicksand has altered the Israeli experience in profound ways. Those directly exposed to violence have suffered physical and emotional injuries that will scar them for life. As mental-health workers, we have treated many victims who have been injured in more than one terror attack. We have tried to help people who have just lost a loved one while still grieving for an earlier victim. We have worked with doctors and nurses who are at risk for secondary traumatization owing to their exposure to so many dead and maimed...
...repeated scenes of violence, funerals and portraits of the dead are putting the population at large at risk of secondary trauma. With each new assault, many of our patients suffer a reactivation of earlier trauma. Others report feelings of great vulnerability because of their familiarity with a victim or their proximity to an attack.

To unearth these nuggets, the writers and researchers go to forensics conventions, scour gory tomes like Practical Homicide Investigation and collect gadgetry catalogs for products...
...turns a mansion into a phantasmagorical torture chamber. Then he meets Ichi (Naori Omori), a schizophrenic hit man tormented by the pleasure he takes in ultraviolent killing. Director Miike obviously wants to signpost Japanese society's ills and does so with a broad and bloody brush. Ichi dispatches his victims with a large rotating metal blade that flicks out of his sneaker. Heads, legs and arms erupt amid geysers of blood from his almost every encounter. A woman's nipples are sliced off; one male victim, suspended naked in midair by wires, comes close to losing his family allowance...
