About Association of Jewish Psychologists

The Association of Jewish Psychologists is the scientific and professional home of Jewish psychologists and our allies whose primary focus is Jewish culture, ethnicity, and religion, including issues of antisemitism. The Association promotes the psychological understanding of Jewish history, culture, religion, and ethnicity, and its relationship to our field of Psychology and the larger society. The Association advocates for the funding of scientific work on the psychological health of Jewish communities and other marginalized communities. We promote research on the predictors and consequences of antisemitism and hatred directed at targeted groups. The Association promotes research on the efficacy of a broad range of educational interventions to combat antisemitism. The Association disseminates knowledge of the history of the Jewish people, its culture, varying cultural and religious subgroups related to forced migration to the Diaspora, and a shared identity as a people, rooted in a common identification with its Jewish homeland, now found in modern day Israel. The Association advocates for the inclusion of Jewish people in EDI frameworks as marginalized ethnic, religious, and multiracial people.
