“This is AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK on a relational approach to professional caring
relationships. Jack H Bloom has assembled an extraordinary community of writers who talk as much about how to give care to others as how to care for one’s self. This
makes the book a remarkably practical and healing gift to its readers. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!” ~Stephen Gilligan, PhD, Psychologist and Author of The Courage to Love: Principles of Self-Relations and Walking in Two Worlds
“A TREASURE HOUSE OF WISDOM possessing both religious and intellectual depth about care and caregiving, grounded in the insights of contemporary psychotherapy
and a traditional yet present-day reading of the world of Judaism.” ~Richard L. Rubenstein, PhD, President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Religion, University of Bridgeport; Lawton Distinguished
Professor of Religion Emeritus, Florida State University
“Jack H Bloom’s life and career have been devoted to demonstrating that the Jewish tradition and the discipline of psychotherapy can only enrich each other. This thesis, at one time but hopefully no
longer controversial, was at the heart of Bloom’s previous book, The Rabbi as Symbolic Exemplar. It is now illustrated
in each of the chapters that make up this treasure house of papers by authorities in one or the other of these disciplines (and frequently both).” ~Rabbi Neil Gillman, PhD, Chairman and Professor of Jewish Philosophy,
Jewish Theological Seminary of America
