Three weather and climate factors which are often correlated to emotional difficulties are outlined by Prof. Juni, as he elaborates the diagnostic category of Seasonal Affective Disorders. The most prominent factor relates to diminished exposure to natural light, specifically as it sometimes engenders anomalies in the circadian rhythm. The primary psychiatric fallout from disturbance in circadian rhythm is clinical depression. In the forensic literature, extreme temperatures have also been documented to reduce personal and emotional resilience – especially under stress conditions. The latter is mostly manifest in the increase of violent crimes during hot heather in urban centers. The third determinant of weather/climate related emotional disorders is more indirect, as inclement weather decreases the amount of time that people spend outside the house – and this could lead to feelings of isolation which can exacerbate extant emotional difficulties in individuals who need a significant level of interpersonal contact for them to function adaptively. However, R. Kivelevitz points out correctly that interpersonal isolation may also be a welcome relief for individuals who suffer from social anxiety. The Rabbi also points out that the third isolation factor was induced globally by the Covid pandemic. Dr. Juni confirms that he has noticed a rise in isolation-related psychiatric episodes among patients in the last two years. Prof. Juni steered the discussion to the negative associations people often have to weather extremes. Freezing cold or hot weather can be viewed rationally as threatening and even dangerous by people for practical reasons (e.g., hypothermia, heat exhaustion, frostbite, dehydration). R. Kivelevitz speculates that the significant migration of folks to areas of warm weather may relate to the [perceived psychological threat from weather extremes. Referring to his move to Israel, Juni adds that there is an additional sense of security where weather is consistent within seasons, so there are few unknowns about unexpected rain or sudden changes.  The dark of night often is associated with isolation and the unavailability of outside help. Juni points out that there are also irrational associations with more personalized threats which harken back to frightening associations of childhood which are symbolized by an inclement outside environment. More insidious along this vein, Juni argues that the “dead of night” often resonates with a fear which is common in primitive cultures and is ever present in early childhood. Nighttime was traditionally the time when actual danger of robbers and highwaymen loomed everywhere. But there is also a theme is of the unnatural, macabre, and unknown/unspeakable. The winter season, with its longer nights, evokes these deep-seated associations and terror, and it is not surprising, psychiatric symptoms are therefore exacerbated. As a counterpoint, R. Kivelevitz presents the Talmudic perspective of seeing the long nights as a gift to humanity to allow undistracted study time. Juni opines that such a stance may well be counter-phobic, evoking the danger-tinged enjoyment of a cozy fire while the “weather outside is frightful” and some may courageously proclaim, “Let is snow.” ______ Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations.  He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the journals to which Professor Juni has contributed over 120 article (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psy

The social and psychological determinants of apparently senseless killings are analyzed. The basic attributions to the availability of guns, violence in the media, and radical ideology are critically evaluated. Prof. Juni argues against the grouping of lone mass shooters (who have keen psychiatric disturbances related to their own traumatic histories) with religious terrorists (who do not necessarily manifest clear personal disorders). Prevention strategies and education of gatekeepers are debated. Dr. Juni points out that many of these individuals suffer from atrocious parenting histories, suggesting that secondary prevention efforts might be more effective in counseling individuals before they become parents – and perhaps guiding many of them to eschew raising children altogether.

This episode is strikingly different than others in the series in that it represents an effort to understand the perspective of a scriptural narrative known to traditional Jews from their childhood by a system inimical to Jewish thought and tradition. It is stressed that this perspective is not representative of the view of IDT, of The Yeshiva of Newark, or of Dr. Juni. Designed to present solely the Freudian perspective, it does not inform the “Standing between Two Worlds” motif of the series. Nonetheless, this episode highlights the challenge faced by Traditional Jewish Scientists who have allegiance to a system which – if accepted in totality – is antithetical to their very own religious weltanschauung. Hence, the role-play format of this episode, in contrast to the standard interview/discussion of the series. With Rabbi Kivelevitz taking the fantasied role of Joseph, the two butlers, and Pharaoh, respectively, Prof. Juni (in the role of a Freudian analyst who stands solidly in one world only) finds themes of familial, self-referenced, and interpersonal conflicts which might shed light on the source of the dream content. Prof. Juni stresses that such themes are part and parcel of the unconscious life of every single child, and their derivative content is commonly found in all dreams and fantasies, but that they only find expression in actual behavior among disturbed individuals. The challenge for religious traditionalists, as Juni sees it, is to determine which aspects of such a position can be accepted as unconscious motifs without undermining our shared belief in the sublime prophetic nature of prophetic personalities and biblical narrative. Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost researchpsychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on histheories and observations.  Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph DovSoloveitchick.  Professor Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox JewishScientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences.Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of MA and PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research.Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic,and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on apsycho-dynamic psychopathology perspective.

Reacting to the increased incidence of molestation scandals, the discussants focus on the fate of his/her family and community who inevitably become salient targets of negative repercussions. While the backlash against the host community and stigmatization of the family is not intrinsically justifiable, Dr. Juni notes that those close to abusers often are aware of travesties long before they become public – and therefore are not blameless. Juni delineates the scope of issues engendered by the exposure of the molester. Community and religious leadership is often viewed as complicit if they rally to the molester’s defense or reflexively cite the “presumption of innocence” mantra. Rabbi Kivelevitz shared reactions of some of his constituents and mentees who despaired and were prompted to abandon religious life when they viewed the reaction to abuse as deficient and inappropriate. These ramifications are explored by the discussants and seen as systematic and intractable. A separate analysis is directed to the poignant dilemma of the abuser’s family members insofar as their personal relationships with the perpetrator are affected. Juni highlights particularly molesters who also apparently manifest positive and leadership functions in society (e.g., Rabbi, author, teacher, medical professional), arguing that there are two prominent types. The more egregious is the veritable psychopaths who pursue their positive social/religious function merely as a subterfuge – and often as a nefarious effort -- designed solely to gain access to potential victims. Juni opines that such individuals, in fact, have very shallow interest in anything other than their perversions. Indeed, such individuals can be said to have minimal emotional investment or positive feeling toward their own family members. On the other hand, there is the molester who truly strives toward (and achieves) positive relationships and prosocial goals in his/her career and daily life, albeit with the significant caveat of lapses in values and behavior. In the latter case, it is reasonable for family members to maintain their (qualified) personal regard toward the perpetrator, provided they do not whitewash the egregious nature of their loved one’s pathology and the harm caused. As incongruous as it may seem, it is feasible to recognize and appreciate positive achievements and the abuser’s contributions even while condemning the problematic lapses. Juni argues, further, that there is little justification to “cancel” positive contribution or creations of such individuals to their profession, their community, and society. Recognizing such individuals as manifesting positive and productive aspects along with the harm they caused is the realistic approach as Juni sees it.

With the Channukah season replete with latkes and chocolates on the horizon, Rabbi Kivelevitz focuses on the snacking response to overcome unpleasantries. He questions if there is an implicit maladjustment in such behavior. Responding with an emphatic “No,” Doctor Juni elaborates the warning signals of excess and pathology of behaviors which are typically in the normal realm. Referencing Psychosexual Developmental Theory, Juni explores the common go-to repertoires which we all use in stressful situations. Highlighting illustrative examples of unusual coping strategies, Kivelevitz proposes that problematic parenting styles may promote psychopathology in interpersonal relationships, anxiety management, and self-concept among teens and young adults. As Kivelevitz suggests that these pathologies, respectively, may be attributed directly to undue parental strictness and exaggerations, Juni points out that excessive indulgencies in early childhood (e.g. around feeding and toilet training -- – and more so in the area of sexuality) often yield negative development repercussions which are just as damaging as those of over-control. Doctor Samuel Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published groundbreaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. Samuel Juni studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchack Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchick.

He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments.
