About The Association of Jewish Psychologists

Mission Statement

The Association of Jewish Psychologists is the scientific and professional home of Jewish and non-Jewish like-minded psychologists whose primary focus is Jewish culture, ethnicity, religion, including issues of antisemitism.  

The Association serves as a clearinghouse that promotes the psychological understanding of Jewish history, culture, religion, and ethnicity, and its relationship to our field of Psychology and the larger society. 

The rise in antisemitism in the United States of America and worldwide is well documented and can be effectively addressed with an understanding of the Jewish people. Psychologists, utilizing our scientific knowledge about identity formation, bias, discrimination, and violence, as well as our professional skillset are in an important position to research and contribute to an understanding of the multiple factors that give rise to antisemitism, its intersection with hatred towards other marginalized groups, and its frequent expression in conspiracy theories. With our knowledge of a range of evidence-based intervention techniques, psychologists contribute to the development, research, and dissemination of salient strategies to combat antisemitism in collaboration with governmental agencies, community service organizations, educational institutions, media, and other scientific and professional organizations.

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 a marginalized ethnic, religious, and multiracial people.
