News about Rabbi Dr. Asher Wade
Latest Update (November, 2009):
This Winter Semester 2009, I am teaching PSY-541: Psychology of the Holocaust at Touro College [here] in Jerusalem.
The option to audit this & other courses without credit still allows many people to participate in these very intersting subjects at a fraction of the regular full-credit cost. Please call the main office {02-651-0090 ext.1} at Touro for more information about these and other courses.
Also, I am teaching again in Ohr Somayach’s Ohr LaGolah teachers’ training college. I have started teaching my 10-week course, which I lectured on last year, called Practical Psychology & Rabbinical Counseling. Please call Rabbi Richard Jacobs for scheduling and more details: 054-846-3869.
Regarding my therapy sessions in my clinic, I am a CBT, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist & practice Radical Brief Therapy. I use as my diagnostic paradigm Eric Erickson's 8 Stages of PsychoSocial Development; thereafter for therapy, I begin with Ahron Beck's Cognitive Therapeutic Approach and end off, when necessary, with a 'kosher form' of Albert Ellis' REBT, Rational Emotive Behavioral therapy. I have had very good success treating OCD, Phobias, Depression, ADD, Anorexia, Bi-Polar Disorder, Asthma and even lower-back pain (Sciatica). Although, I am well-known as an orthodox rabbi, I take a purely non-judgmental approach to my patients. People who come to see me, no matter what malady or disorder, are simply people in pain; it is my job to alleviate that pain &, hopefully, in a permanent way.
My sessions are 1 hour & 20 minutes (80mins.) long and I charge 295,-NIS [which is 250,-NIS plus MAM] per session {or, approx. $75.00}.
My practice is located in the Shadar Medical Center at 8 Yoel St., (right next to the Satmar Beis Medresh, parallel to Yecheskel St. & down the street from Meah Shaarim). For appointments, please call: 052-442-1683; or, to leave a message: (02) 538-1286.
I am [still] truly sorry that I am unable to conduct tours through Yad VaShem, however if you still would like to have a "pre-seminar" before going out to Yad VaShem on your next visit, please do not hesitate to contact me: 011-972-52-442-1683 {or, in Israel: 052-442-1683}.
