Michelle Friedman

Michelle Friedman is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose life and work explore active, compassionate listening and the resilience of the human spirit. Her first book, co-authored with Dr. Rachel Yehuda, The Art of Jewish Pastoral Counseling: A Guide for All Faiths comes out of Michelle’s professional experience teaching rabbinical students. Divine Corners offers her personal struggle to find meaning and repair in the form of a memoir about her growing up on a chicken farm in the Catskills as a child of Holocaust survivor parents.
