The somewhat unorthodox working guidelines and professional attitudes of an ultra-orthodox (UO) psychotherapist are presented. Despite relatively low status in the UO society, the UO therapist can contribute much to UO society: by enhancing individuals' religious, as well as, general functioning, and by serving as a consultant to rabbinical and community leaders. Ensuing from the centrality of religion in the therapist's life, usual therapy norms and parameters may be abrogated or modified in the direction of increased stringency (eg, in avoiding sexual misconduct and subtle forms of "robbery") or leniency (eg, extra-therapeutic helpfulness). It is noted that secular professionals who are knowledgable and respectful of religion are at no disadvantage in working with the UO. A culturally-sensitive approach is suggested when treating this population.
本文介绍了一位极端正统（UO）心理治疗师有些非正统的工作准则和职业态度。尽管在UO社会中地位相对较低，但UO治疗师可以为UO社会做出很大贡献：通过提高个人的宗教素养以及整体功能，并担任拉比和社区领袖的顾问。由于宗教在治疗师生活中的核心地位，通常的治疗规范和参数可能会朝着更严格（例如，避免性行为不端和微妙形式的“抢劫”）或更宽松（例如，治疗外的帮助）的方向被废除或修改。需要注意的是，对宗教有了解且尊重宗教的世俗专业人员在与UO人群合作时并无劣势。建议在治疗这一人群时采用文化敏感的方法。
