  A Note on Mourning an Adoptive Parent in an Orthodox Jewish Family
 
 
Title: A Note on Mourning an Adoptive Parent in an Orthodox Jewish Family
Author: Ribner, David S.
Wolowelsky, Joel B.
Appeared in: Journal of family social work
Paging: Volume 3 (1999) nr. 2 pages 79-85
Year: 1999-03-10
Contents: A sensitive and potentially problematic manifestation of family bereavement situations may occur when one of the mourners is an adopted child. Using an ecosystems perspective, this paper examines the nature of mourning in Orthodox Jewish adoptive families and the therapeutic use of religious ritual and dicta to assist with the maintenance of family homeostasis during the potentially destabilizing period following the death of a relative. A case example is presented, illustrating the value of cooperation between therapists and clergy to determine appropriate interventions. Suggestions are made for the use of analogous rituals to assist a broader range of families.
