Abstract
The current paper examines the limited literature on spiritually oriented treatment with Jewish clients and suggests two novel techniques of integration. The paper reviews the differences that exist between various denominations of Jews and the unique issues that may surface in therapy with Jewish clients based on these denominational variations. The paper suggests some specific applications including integrating meditative prayer and sacred texts in psychotherapy with Jews. Additionally, the paper provides a case study for each of the two application suggestions and concludes with a summary and future direction.
