Damnation & Deviance
The Calvinist view that man is predestined to be among the elect or the damned has profoundly influenced not only our views of criminals and deviants, but also the theoretical basis of correctional methods and psychotherapeutic techniques. In this provocative and original volume, Mordechai Rotenberg examines the impact of Protestant doctrine on Western theories of deviance. He explores the inherent contradiction between Protestant ethics, with it…
Hasidic Psychology
The Sociological Perspective
Response to Bakan's and Witztum's Commentaries
David Bakan's (1966) distinctions between agency and communion are two relational categories that correspond in many ways to my differentiation be- tween emanation and contraction. By drawing on Max Weber's formulations, both of us trace Western controlling patterns of communication or sexuality to the Protestant egocentric salvation ethic. By using Eli Witztum's clinical observations as a constructive critical impetus, the promising psycho- ther…
Cabalic Sexuality and Creativity
The guiding assumption of this article begins from the observation that Western campaigns for expressing sexuality (e.g., homosexuality) and repressing sexuality (e.g., harassment) are largely identical in their assertive-aggressive behavior patterns. A thesis is presented according to which the erotic creation myth (cosmogony) of emanation may have exerted paradigmatic impacts on the Westem phallic-erective style of sexuality, creativity, and as…
Missing Links in Hay's Discussion
Hay's refutation of Marx's, Freud's, and Durkheim's hypotheses that religious experience is more frequent among the dispossessed is commendable, as is his observation that admission of such experience has been discouraged by the effects of the Enlightenment. However, the measurement tool used by Hardy and Hay lacks refinement and seems to be misleading. Further, Hay's failure to include a discussion of the theories of Weber and Foucault weakens t…

"Rotenberg's "Dialogue with Deviance
The 'Midrash' and Biographic Rehabilitation
Studies have demonstrated that many Western schizophrenics suffer from a ruptured linear time conception reflected in their inability to relate their present to past and future. It is hypothesized that the futurist clean leaf rehabilitation model, according to which past failures are to be conceived as a closed book, is rooted in an unshakeable Oedipal original-sin conception, which perpetuates cognitive dissonance between past, present and futur…

Protestantism and Retrospective Labeling
Person perception was studied experimentally to test certain predictions following from Rotenberg's theory concerning the effects of the Calvinist conception of Man on Western culture. Americans scored significantly higher than Israelis on a Protestant ethic scale. When American and Israeli subjects were asked to rate, on the basis of past information, the probabilities of a person being at present a mental patient ("damned') or a successful busi…

Self-Labelling Theory
Differential aspects of self-labelling involved in the process of becoming deviant were hitherto largely ignored by labelling analysts. To expand the labelling paradigm a general scheme for analysing the sources and properties of self-labelling was presented. The model proposed four levels at which self-labelling may occur: (1) auto-suggestive labelling, in which self-labelling arises within the person as a result of intra-psychic processes of di…
The Protestant Ethic against the Spirit of Psychiatry
This paper will attempt to preserlt an encounter between the peoplechanging sciences and the Protestant Ethic. For purposes of convenience the term psychotherapy will be used in its broadest sense to refer to all professional treatment systems aimed at changing people. It will be suggested that, whereas the Protestant Ethic appears to have contributed largely to the enhancement of the scientific, rational approach to psychopathology and to the me…
