Attitudes toward death in adolescent offspring of Holocaust survivors. 1978

S Schneider

Introductory remarks are directed toward a brief review of the literature on the psychological problems of the survivors of the Nazi Holocaust, and the paucity of research on offspring of these survivors. A discussion of three adolescents who were in a residential treatment program in Jerusalem, Israel, is proffered. Biographical data, diagnostic categories, review of TAT responses, their ability or inability in forming relationships, and some examples of dreams are presented. A section is devoted to some general underlying assumptions--including an analysis of the concepts "survivor guilt," "repressed agression," and "isolation of affect".
