Domestic violence, a once-hidden problem in the Orthodox Jewish community, is now acknowledged to occur in Orthodox Jewish families. Because this problem was not affirmed earlier, effective therapeutic techniques for working with battered Orthodox women have only recently begun to emerge. This article highlights one therapeutic technique—the value-sensitive approach—which uses ethnoculturalreligious factors as part of the therapeutic process and has generated positive results in working with battered Orthodox women.

Key Words: domestic violence • ethnic-sensitive practice • Orthodox Jews
