His latest book (in press) is entitled ""Casebook of Unconventional Psychotherapy"" (L. R. Price Publications). ""I read this book with great interest. Dr. Hoffman provides the reader with a comprehensive review of the major challenges and controversies at the interface of psychology and Judaism. He cites a wide range of viewpoints and opinions from both Rabbinic and mental health perspectives. This will undoubtedly stimulate further discussion and hopefully promote increased collaboration between Rabbinical figures and mental health professionals.""
