The Refuah Institute is a non-profit haredi Orthodox Jewish training institute in Jerusalem, Israel. It was established in 2001, by an American Professor (of medicine), Joshua H. Ritchie, MD and is partially funded by a sister organization in New York.〔http://www.refuah.net About page and Dean's biography page accessed Jan 2012〕 Refuah Institute trains its students in "secular" techniques such as Applied Positive Psychology, Cognitive Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Reality Therapy. Students have become counselors, coaches and therapists, usually working within the Haredi community in Israel and the US, in a variety of areas including Life coaching, Reality Therapy, Marriage counseling, and youth counseling for children within the community. The Institute’s courses and faculty include both men and women. One of the center's female alumni was profiled in a 2012 New York Times article on life-coaching.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/29/fashion/should-a-life-coach-have-a-life-first.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&ref=general&src=me&adxnnlx=1327932415-B%20OLFyePsKtt8QJeuGO8Eg〕 Refuah Institute has close ties to the North American Haredi community, with many American teachers and courses in English. Most of the institute's trainers are Ashkenazi Rabbis, some with PhD's from secular universities (mainly in psychology) and students are expected to put their studies within the context of the Jewish Halacha. ==Faculty== Some of the faculty are members of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists. Notable faculty members are Thomas Crane MBA, author of the “Heart of Coaching", Professor Yaacov Zeisel, Fredrick Mael PhD, Rabbi Eliezer Glatt MA, Allan Gonsher PhD and author Miriam Adahan PhD.〔http://www.refuah.net/about.htm#9 accessed Jan 2012〕 A few are associated with Aish HaTorah, a Haredi Jewish-outreach organization with Zionist inclinations (senior faculty include Rabbi Zelig Pliskin and Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Refuah Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
