The Biblical Path to Psychological Maturity
I commend Dr. Vivian Skolnick on her lively and very useful book. I could not help but be impressed by Dr. Skolnick's organized and systematic approach to analyzing the psychological wisdom contained in the weekly Torah readings. Her gems of psychological insight make this a 'must read' for anyone interested in the interface of psychology and Judaism --Kalman J. Kaplan, PhD, Professer of Clinical Psychology University of Illinois Chicago College of MedicineJewish tradition tells us that 'There are seventy faces to the Torah.' Dr. Vivian Skolnick uncovers one of those faces in her fascinating, psychological interpretation of Biblical stories, rituals and laws. Her psychological insights in brief informative essays on each weekly Torah portions make for thoughtful reading and challenging discussions around the family table or in group study sessions. --Rabbi Haskel Lookstein
