“…When seeking mental help, the leading rabbinic authority forbids psychiatric patients to seek assistance from a psychologist or psychiatrist who is a heretic or atheist (Rube and Kibel, 2004) due to the concern that non-orthodox practitioners may introduce ideas that violate religious-cultural norms and values. For example, patient and therapist may not share the same goals for treatment and thus may each have a different view of what constitutes "successful" therapy (Heilman and Witztum, 1997).…”

“…In a therapeutic setting, these two commandments may paralyze children into silence, or prevent parents speaking about one child in the presence of another (Wieselberg, 1992). Moreover, some UO Jews do not wish to be treated by psychotherapy but with medication alone in order to assure the avoidance of discussing conflicts or the risk of expressing anger that may give the appearance of dishonoring one's parents or one's heritage (Rube and Kibel, 2004).…”

The paper presents the potential benefits and conflicts of the encounter between Jewish ultra-orthodox (UO) children-belonging to a closed and segregated group-and art therapy-with its cultural, Western, secular, and professional characteristics. The paper describes the complex interface between the therapeutic use of art as a form of free expression and religious commandments and restrictions. The dialogue between art, therapy, and cultural religious boundaries is described through a case study of an 8-yearold UO boy and a secular female art therapist. Issues such as self-expression, gender roles, and identity exploration are discussed, emphasizing the unique characteristics, benefits, and conflicts of such an encounter.

“…Keidar et al (2021) describe this as follows: "The child acts out the thing rather than speaking the thing."

“…In a therapeutic context, this commandment may paralyze clients into silence, as described by Doron (2020) , who showed that during therapy with a 7-year-old Haredi boy it was problematic to encourage the child to talk about issues that would later be repressed. Keidar et al (2021) describe this as follows: “The child acts out the thing rather than speaking the thing.” Some UO Jews also wish to be treated with medication alone in order to ensure they may avoid discussing conflicts or risk expressing anger that may give the appearance of dishonoring their parents or their heritage ( Rube and Kibel, 2004 ).…”

“…The leading rabbinic authority prohibits psychiatric patients from consulting heretic or atheist psychologists or psychiatrists, fearing a clash with religious-cultural norms ( Rube and Kibel, 2004 ). The relationship hierarchy with traditional Jewish law (Halacha) and the rabbi is elevated above therapy ( Freund and Band-Winterstein, 2013 , 2017 ), and introduces continuous tensions and conflicts within the therapeutic dynamic, such as conflicts of loyalties, the forbidden and the permitted, or between right and wrong ( Hess, 2018 ).…”

This paper explores the exceptional intercultural encounter between secular therapists and Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel, focusing on two key aspects. Firstly, it explores the distinctive attributes and conflicts inherent in treating Ultra-Orthodox individuals. On the one hand is the secular Israeli therapist, whose base is in Western philosophy that prioritizes individuality, cultural diversity, and tolerance of differences. On the other hand is the Haredi client, entrenched in values from Jewish tradition and religious principles that amplify solidarity and collectivism while rejecting prevalent secular culture. The existing socio-political climate in Israel often positions these two as potentially conflicting cultures. Secondly, the paper seeks to illuminate the uncommon dynamics of the minority-majority power balance within the therapeutic relationship. In contrast to prevalent literature in intercultural therapy, which typically frames the client as a representative of a disadvantaged minority and the therapist as a representative of a dominant majority, this article aims to unravel a nuanced power balance, where those in the minority perceive the dominant culture both as a threat to its way of life and as a despised entity, but paradoxically rely entirely on its financial support. This reveals a complex and intricate interplay of dominance and dependence, shaping a therapeutic relationship that defies conventional expectations.
