N2 - The chapter addresses major determinants of mental health issues among Palestinian women in Israel, including political, social, cultural, and economic factors. Poverty, harsh living conditions, violence, disrupted family relations, polygamy, discrimination and stigma, and employment and working conditions, among other factors, are discussed in the contexts of negative mental health outcomes (e.g., depression, somatization, and anxiety) and positive mental health outcomes (e.g., marital quality, family functioning, life satisfaction, and well-being). The effects of these different determinants are examined with regard to coping resources, coping behaviors, and help-seeking behaviors. This chapter relates to the general Palestinian society in Israel.
