Jewish Values in Psychotherapy

Explores the interrelationship of two distinct yet complementary disciplines, Judaism and psychology. Religious experiences, thoughts, and behavior are influenced by one's mental status, personality and unique life experiences. Therefore what a psycho-Judaic approach suggests is a fostering of an individualistic pattern within a religious domain rather than to create a uniform way of being for all individuals.
