Foreword By HaRav Asher Weiss shlit'a

In Stories & Halachah from the Psychiatrist's Couch,
Dr. Yaakov Freedman, a world-renowned psychiatrist and
master storyteller, invites you into his world, sharing humorous,
thought-provoking, engaging, and emotional tales from his
practice. Each story unfolds into a fascinating halachic question,
expertly addressed by the esteemed Rabbi Akiva Dershowitz.

Step into the world of the mind and soul, where psychology
meets halachah, and uncover eye-opening answers to questions
you never even thought to ask.

"This book is a unique combination of stories from the forefront of
the world of mental health and psychiatry, along with Torah and hala-
chic guidance. The stories are told in an appealing and humorous
fashion, and yet reflect and convey the very serious and complex
challenges of treating mental illness and the full range of psychiatric
conditions."
HaRav Asher Weiss shlita
