Download or read book Trauma and Rebirth written by John J. Sigal and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the long-term consequences of the Holocaust on survivors and their children some four decades after the war. This book represents the culmination of nine years of collaborative effort, consisting primarily of findings drawn from two sample surveys of Jewish residents in Montreal. This volume covers new research topics that have been neglected in the survivor literature, including personality, familial interactions, vocational achievements, sociopolitical attitudes. an excellent source of material from a sociopolitical and psychological perspective. The assessment of the impact of a political movement on the attitudes and psychological status of a minority population is informative. The study of a large group of Holocaust survivors adds significantly to the scientific literature in this area. Contemporary Psychology The first empirical study of the psychological consequences of the Holocaust across three generations, this book assesses the long-term and intergenerational effects of severe victimization and of other forms of exposure to excessive, prolonged stress. Although there can be no doubt that there are negative psychological and physical consequences for the survivors of the Holocaust, the authors present evidence here that contradicts the dominant thrust of previous studies, which emphasized dysfunction in the family life of survivors and psychological impairment in their children. In addition to an intensive study of Holocaust survivors and their families, this book provides a yardstick against which the long-term and cross-generational impact of other potentially traumatic situations--war, earthquakes, flood, fire, assault, and so on--may be measured. The authors' research for this volume spans the disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, sociology, history, and ethnic studies. The book, however, is written in an accessible style easily understood by the nonprofessional reader. The culmination of a nine year collaborative effort, Trauma and Rebirth consists, primarily, of findings drawn from two sample surveys of Jewish residents in Montreal. One survey focuses on Holocaust survivors, the second on children of survivors. Both include control groups, and draw from unbiased, nonclinical, and non-self-selected populations. Students and scholars of modern Jewish life and the Holocaust, or anyone interested in the study of trauma and victimization, will find Trauma and Rebirth an invaluable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Abstract] This study utilized the heuristic model of qualitative research to explore the question, "What is the experience of growing up as a child of Holocaust survivors?" This research was accomplished through comprehensive interviews with 6 co-researchers detailing personal experiences and immersion in my own experience of being a child of Holocaust survivors. A review of the current literature revealed no identical study connected to this topic, although their is wealth of information available about different aspects of the experience of being a child of Holocaust survivors. The data was arranged using the steps in the heuristic model. Co-researchers consisted of 3 women and 3 men between the ages of 46 and 66. To qualify as a co-researcher, the person had to have at least one parent who survived Nazi-occupied Europe. Each interview was taped, transcribed, and searched for common themes. Identified common themes were: the hidden past, children acting as an adult, lack of extended family, feelings of not belonging, parental aggression, diminished self-esteem, demanding parental expectations, and intense emotions of depression, sadness, guilt and fear. All of the major themes were illustrated by the experience of the participants and the researcher. The themes revealed the impact of growing up as a child of Holocaust survivors, the process of accepting this legacy, and movement toward a better understanding of his or her turbulent past. Any children of Holocaust survivors, their children, clinicians, medical professionals, and educators could use the findings of this study. Anyone interested in learning the effects of slavery, racism, and hatred could also use this study.
Download or read book Echoes of the Trauma written by Hadas Wiseman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echoes of trauma are traced in the relational narratives that the sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors tell about their experiences growing up in survivor families. An innovative combination of the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method with narrative-qualitative analysis revealed common themes and emotional patterns that are played out in the survivors' children's meaningful relationships, especially in those with their parents. The relational world of the second generation is understood in the context of an intergenerational communication style called 'knowing-not knowing', in which there is a dialectical tension between knowing and not knowing the parental trauma. In the survivors' children's current parent-adolescent relationships with their own children, they aspire to correct the child-parent dynamics that they had experienced by trying to openly negotiate conflicts and to maintain close bonds. Clinicians treating descendents of other massive trauma would benefit from the insights offered into these complex intergenerational psychological processes.

Download or read book The Cry of Mute Children written by Ilany Kogan and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ilany Kogan has written a powerful and astute book on the psychoanalytic treatment of the offspring of Holocaust survivors, drawing on her experience of being an analyst to some of their sons and daughters. Through an in-dept, sensitive presentation of eight analyses conducted with children of survivors, the author shows how the shadow of the Holocaust sets the stage for the intrapsychic drama played out by the second generation during the course of their analytic journey. These patients grapple with the meaning of the Holocaust - conscious and unconscious - in their own lives as well as the lives of their parents ... Illany Kogan's style is unique. She provides a depth and richness of detail in her patients' fantasy words, as well as her own experience of countertransference. She invites the reader to participate in the vicissitudes of the analytic process, including moments of frustration, analytic impasses and ruptures in the therapeutic alliance. Through her open, unassuming style, her well-organized writing and the judicious use of verbatim material, the author breathes life into these analytic stories ... The important insights revealed in this book can inform us not only in the realm of this particular group of patients but all those whose lives are touched by the reality of war, violence and trauma.' Dr Ann Adelman, Yale University ------- 'Ilany Kogan's vivid description of the psychological fate of children of the survivors of Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps alert us to the long-lasting effects of severe trauma and its transmission from one generation to the next. Dehumanisation is a constant feature of human history, and this book reminds us of our need to be vigilant in the defence of civilisation.' Dr Dinora Pines, London --------- 'Ilany Kogan has written a book with so many truths in it that it should be required reading for all those colleagues who might be consulted by members of the second generation.' Professor Martin Wangh, Jerusalem

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holocaust is a catastrophic event in history that took the lives of 6 million Jews. Exposure to the horrors of the Holocaust greatly impacted the surviving individuals. The term intergenerational trauma encompasses the resultant trauma that was passed down from the Holocaust survivors to their children and more recently to their grandchildren. The literature investigating the impact of this intergenerational trauma remains very limited. The interviews that have been done are either very outdated, took place only in clinical settings, had a very specific agenda or narrow focus, and/or looked at solely males or females. However, updated interviews of second-generation Holocaust survivors, that were previously conducted, have been analyzed here. The literature does not take a definitive stance on the specific impact of the second generations’ parents’ survival on their resultant development. In addition to a review of the history of the Holocaust, this paper also reviews postwar adjustment, Holocaust trauma reactions, psychological functioning, survivor families, and intergenerational Holocaust trauma. This qualitative study examined the development of the survivor identity in the second generation based on their knowledge of their parents’ Holocaust experiences. The interviews of 27 adult men and women were analyzed to gain insight into the factors that determined whether they developed a second-generation Holocaust survivor identity. Various themes, and subthemes, emerged from the interviews, including those related to the unique impact of the second generations’ parents’ Holocaust experiences on various subgroups of participants. These include the silent familial environment surrounding Holocaust discussions, the feeling of burden carried by the first generation regarding their past, the emotional distress and secondary trauma experienced by the second generation, the Holocaust’s impact on the marital status of the second generation, an overall feeling of an unsafe world, the second generations’ need to protect and make their survivor parents happy, the responsibility of the second generation in keeping the stories of the first generation alive, and sibling differences amongst the second generation. Additional themes, and subthemes, materialized from the participants’ testimonies, which were specifically related to the second generations’ identity development because of their parents’ Holocaust survivor status. These include a strong connection in the second generation to Jewish identity and a shared identity between the first and the second generation in relation to adopting the Holocaust survivor label. The results of this study suggest the need to further investigate the Holocaust survivor identity development in the second generation and its connection to the nature of the familial environment where Holocaust discussions occurred.
