“Shiluv” Institute
for Family and Couple Therapy in Jerusalem
The “Shiluv” Institute for Family and Couple Therapy is a non-profit [AC1] organization which provides emotional and mental assistance to families in jerusalem and its periphery. The “Shiluv” Institute is renowned for its expertise in the fields of family and couple therapy among the professional community and is considered one of the leading institutes in its field.
The Institute was founded in 1971 in Jerusalem. And was the first institute in Israel providing family therapy.
The work of our therapeutic team creates an encounter of different worldviews, professional theories and a variety of therapeutic techniques and practices. While providing each patient with the best care and attention to his/her personal history, needs and emotional state. The Shiluv institute works to heal and aid families as a whole, rather than focusing solely on our patient’s inner world and isolating them as individuals, we tend to view them as family members and treat families as an inseparable part of the treatment.
Currently our therapeutic team consists of 25 therapists. All of which are experts in the fields of family and couple therapy and have many years of therapeutic experience in a wide range of cases. Each of our therapist is carefully selected based on stringent threshold conditions. Additionally, periodical counseling sessions are held for the team at the Institute for the purpose of mutual professional productivity, while undergoing a constant learning process.
The “Shiluv” Institute motto is ‘making couple and family treatment accessible for everyone’. The Institute therefore provides its services at a sliding scale, which depends on each family’s income.

"Nitzanim" - therapy for families with children aged 0 - 9
Toddlers and young children who have undergone trauma or stressful situations in the family are not necessarily perceived by their family as requiring therapy. Many people are convinced that young children are not affected by what is happening around them, or that they do not remember events which occurred when they were young. Research and experience indicate that this assumption is not correct, and untreated children suffer more than children who have undergone therapy.
Today we know that early intervention is critical for a child’s healthy development.

Family Mediation
The Mediation unit at the “Shiluv” Institute has been operating for more than twenty years and has accumulated experience in successful mediation processes with hundreds of families.
The principle facing us is that – in the event of disagreements – it is almost always advisable to first try to conduct a dialog before resorting to legal proceedings.
This perception is also now part of the legal system itself, which allows for proceedings to be opened in the Family Court only if the attempt to resolve the dispute by other means has already been exhausted.

Trauma Center - individual treatment
Trauma results after one has undergone a difficult event, which then generates a sense of threat, and is accompanied by a feeling of fear and helplessness. Trauma can be described as a negative event from the past, which takes over the present, and affects the future. Experiences such as a car accident, the death of someone close, sexual assault, a terrorist incident and incidents which occur during military service, a serious injury or illness – all of these and more can leave a mark on the human psyche, which can be defined as trauma.
Traumatic events do not necessarily have to paralyze our lives. With the help of therapy it is possible to process the experiences and the subsequent reactions and feeling, learning how to live a healthy and functional life. It is also possible to discover new things about ourselves, and the wonderful things we are capable of.

Therapy for sexual assault
The unit for the treatment of sexual assault was founded in 1998 by members of the staff at the “Shiluv” Institute, who were responding to the need of some families who had been referred for treatment – while recognizing the fact that treating this particular issue requires a level of expertise. Whenever possible we also treat the entire family – the victim, the abuser and the rest of the family.
