Written by a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, this powerful and important book delves into the profound psychological trauma experienced by a generation of Holocaust survivors. It not only offers an intimate and personal reflection on these harrowing events but also provides a comprehensive clinical perspective on an often-misunderstood phenomenon.
As a child during this period, the book begins by examining the author's own experience as a refugee in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the psychological impact of displacement after such traumatic experiences, and his efforts to heal from its damage through medical and psychoanalytic training. However, the second half of the book broadens the perspective to offer a clinical exploration of the psychic effects of surviving the Holocaust. A range of concepts are addressed and explored, including powerlessness and survivor guilt, to psychic security and recovered memories. The book concludes by examining how psychic trauma is processed and the clinical implications for when disorders emerge and dysfunction results.
An insightful and honest account of massive psychic trauma, this remarkable book will resonate not only with those affected by or interested in the experiences of Holocaust survivors but also with any clinical practitioner working with clients who have experienced this type of intense trauma.
