Abstract
This article discusses the evacuation of Ofira, an Israeli settlement in Sinai as a condition of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The authors were members of a group of mental health specialists brought in shortly before the withdrawal to act as consultants and therapists. They describe the dynamics of the community and its inhabitants, different reactions to the with-drawal and avenues for addressing the evacuees' psychological plights. Although the authors find they did not have sufficient time to do all they wished to help the Ofirans, their experience has led them to suggest guidelines for assisting other groups undergoing forced removal from their homes.
