    "The ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Israel is highly homogeneous and  is virtually isolated from the surrounding secular society.  Nevertheless, in recent years some openness to psychotherapy has  emerged. In this paper the first author, herself a member of the  ultra-orthodox community and a psychotherapist, presents a series of  analyses and discussions of the major issues raised by therapy amongst  members of this community. This study had two main objectives:  a) a  qualitative assessment of possible conflicts between the subjects strong  religious convictions and the essence of psychotherapy; some conflicts  were indeed detected which were followed by individual modes of  reconciliation, b) an attempt to discover whether the psychotherapy had  an impact on the level of observance of the Jewish commandments and  customs; some indications for a lessening of such observance were found.  This study, being the first of its kind, could provide a basis for  studying the effects of psychotherapy on subjects belonging to isolated  communities."
