“…Non-sexual aspects of their relationship are thereby enhanced and reinforced through self-discipline. However, if there is poor communication between the partners and if they have not worked out alternative methods of demonstrating their care for each other, then the vvomen may communicate her dissatisfaction with her marriage by abusing the Halacha and delay going to the Mikvah (Ostrov, 1976;Fertel and Feuer, 1981).…”

Most ultra-orthodox Jewish families live in tightly knit communities in which there is religious and cultural congruence between the structure of their communal organizations, their families, and the way individual members construe their world. Without excluding other family therapy models, this paper points to striking links between strictly orthodox Judaism and aspects of structural family therapy which suggest the latter may be particularly applicable to members of this ethnic minority. Therapeutic issues are illustrated with examples.

Domestic violence, a once-hidden problem in the Orthodox Jewish community, is now acknowledged to occur in Orthodox Jewish families. Because this problem was not affirmed earlier, effective therapeutic techniques for working with battered Orthodox women have only recently begun to emerge. This article highlights one therapeutic technique—the value-sensitive approach—which uses ethnoculturalreligious factors as part of the therapeutic process and has generated positive results in working with battered Orthodox women.

“…For couples who follow family purity laws, it is forbidden to engage in certain interactions. For example, Fertel and Feuer (1981) suggested that when the woman is in niddah, the couple should still attend therapy sessions, but that the sessions should be used to work on communication skills rather than the physical relationship. This suggestion coincides well with the Jewish thought that niddah is a time for couples to focus on their emotional and supportive relationships rather than their physical connections (Schlesinger, 1974).…”
