Orthodox Judaism and Psychoanalysis: Toward Dialogue and Reconciliation

Abstract: The authors examine the conflicted relationship between Orthodox Judaism and psychoanalysis.

On the other hand, those psychoanalytic writers who have examined the beliefs and practices of Orthodox Jews have tended to treat these issues in a reductionistic fashion. However, the authors find possibilities for reconciliation and dialogue in the work of Aaron Rabinowitz and Moshe Halevi… Show more

They investigate Islam (Akhtar, 2008; Etezady, 2008); Buddhism and Zen Buddhism (Magid, 2000; Molino, 1998; Safran, 2003); Hinduism (Cunningham, 2006; Kripal & Vaidyanathan, 1998); Judaism (Berke & Schneider, 2008; Cohen & Gereboff, 2004; Starr, 2008); Christianity (Meissner, 2008; O’Connell, 2009; Sorenson, 2004); Confucianism, Taoism, and Stoic philosophy (Marcus, 2003); mysticism (Eigen, 1998; Sayers, 2003) and Gnosticism (Gordon, 2004); spirituality in general (Rubin, 2006; Sorenson, 2004; Spezzano & Gargiulo, 1997; Stone, 2005); and traditional religion and perceptions of divinity (Cohen, 2003; Rizzuto, 2009).

“…Indeed, many rabbis today recognize the need for treatment of emotional issues, although they will more readily refer people to psychiatric treatment than to psychotherapy. Greenberg and Witztum (2001) have written about psychiatric treatment in the Haredi community, while Cohen and Gereboff (2004) have written in a more pluralistic vein about the meeting between psychoanalysis and Judaism.
