The purpose of this paper was to describe the ways in which a family therapy agency adjusted to emerging needs of families in Israel during the Gulf War. The therapeutic interventions were done by phone and followed a crisis intervention model. The impact of the special context arising from the war is described first, followed by a description of the problems related and the intervention provided. Finally, implications for family therapy are discussed.
