Abstract:
For many clinicians working under Jewish auspices, and particularly for those at the Robert M. Beren Center, which was founded on Orthodox Jewish principles, counseling individuals contemplating intermarriage evokes complex ethical dilemmas. Using a family systems model allows the clinician to help the client in a way that supports both individual autonomy and interpersonal connectedness.
