| Abstract: | Reviews the book, Jewish women in therapy: Seen but not heard edited by Rachel Josefowitz Siegel and Ellen Cole. In this book, the editors have assembled a varied collection of prose and poetry, first-person stories and accessible theoretical pieces that can help Jews and non-Jews, women and men, therapists and patients, and general readers to grapple with questions of Jewish women's identities and diversity. The topics addressed include hidden fears about being "too Jewish" or "not Jewish enough," middle age, intermarriage, unacknowledged violence against Jewish women by Jewish men, lesbianism, and both the fears and the strengths that can come from being Jewish and female.
