A survey measuring attitudes toward professional psychological treatment was completed by members of three Orthodox Jewish religious groups: Chasidic Jews (n = 55), Yeshiva Jews (n = 52), and Modern Orthodox Jews (n = 51). The survey contained the Fisher-Turner Attitude toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (ASPPHS) and a series of Likert-type items developed especially for this study assessing specific perceptions of psychological treatment. The result of the study indicates significant (p < .001) differences among the three groups in terms of their overall attitude toward seeking treatment as measured by the ASPPHS. The Chasidic group (mean = 14.07) were significantly less willing to seek psychological help than were the Yeshiva group (mean = 17.21), who in turn were less willing than the Modern Orthodox group (mean = 21.84). Significant differences were observed as well in a number of specific areas, including the likelihood of consulting with Rabbi/Rebbe regarding psychological treatment; the likelihood of insisting that the mental health professional be Orthodox; insisting that the therapist be of the same sex; the perception that certain forms of treatment could threaten one's religious beliefs; concern that seeking psychological help could make others think one was crazy or jeopardize one's chance of becoming betrothed; insisting on anonymity by seeking help away from one's own community; and seeking psychodynamic treatment. The implications of these findings for clinical practice with Orthodox Jews were discussed.Subjects--Topical Terms:
