After recounting that historic episode (fiction), author Yoel Cohen then states that his book aims to examine “how the Jewish religion and the Jews of Israel have been influenced by the media age” (xii). He also states that studying the media–Judaism interface requires looking at two questions: the “impact of Judaism upon mass media” and also the “impact of mass media upon Judaism” (4). This book, a recent offering in the Routledge Jewish Studies Series of almost forty titles, has chapters that point to and provide academic and fairly readable treatment of content under the following suggestive headings: “Jewish theory of communication,” “Constructing religion news,” “News values, ideology and the religion story,” “Mikva news,” “Dual loyalties: The Modern Orthodox Dilemma,” “Identity unity and discord,” “www.techno-Judaism,” “Kosher advertising,” “The marketing of the rabbi,” “At bay in the Diaspora,” “From out of Zion shall come forth foreign news,” and “Holyland foreign news.” The discussion in those chapters can serve to supplement or be compared to a somewhat broader array of content found in a previous work in the Routledge Series: Jews, Muslims and Mass Media (Parfitt and Egorova). That earlier book includes looks at how Jews are presented or covered in the media of countries other than Israel; relevant chapter topics include “Judeophobia to Islamophobia in the Italian Media,” “Zionism, Jews and Muslims in the Ottoman Empire,” the “Image of Jews. . .in Eastern Bloc Media,” “Jewish Themes in the Press of Independent India,” and others. A more recent work in English that provides a focus on related issues as experienced in America is Jeffrey Shandler’s God, and Videotape: Religion and Media in America (Shandler). For other related resources (following the authors’ example of citing Google hits as indicators of the impact of the “media technological

As for what theories are, the editor states that theories are critical “drivers” for a clinician’s understanding of personality as well as for their approach to therapy. He sees this crucial role of theories as based on their heuristic function. That is, for clinicians theories can support hypotheses about theories, as well as research on, changes to, and development of better theories (xxxix). The editor goes on to recognize that even when psychotherapists or counselors are operating with the same theory, their actual delivery of service may very well differ (xl).
