Abstract:

Group Psychotherapy with Orthodox Jewish patients creates specialized benefits for members such as homogeneous cultural and religious goals plus feelings of camaraderie and familiarity. However, heightened sensitivity to social stigma in Jewish circles and the fear of being judged cause greater difficulty for such patients. This paper reviews the experience of the group members and the experiences of the author in leading such groups. Similarities and differences between Orthodox Jewish therapy groups and an Orthodox Jewish Peer Supervision Group are explored.
