Sumario:Ultra-orthodox Jews in Jerusalem are isolated from the secular community that surrounds them not only physically but by their dress, behaviours, and beliefs. Their relationship with secular society is characterised by social, religious, and political tensions.

In this book, two Western-trained psychiatrists discuss their mental health work with this community over the past two decades.
