Description
Table of Contents
Google Preview: Observing the ways in which a large group of people may experience collective trauma, which can have identifiable effects in succeeding generations, the author has pioneered individual and group therapy with Holocaust survivors and their descendants. She has identified 'Holocaust syndrome' where neurotic symptoms are expressed in the children and grandchildren of socially traumatized individuals, and in this book explores the use of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in work with the psychological effects of social trauma on succeeding generations. The text describes case studies of work with three generations of Holocaust survivors' families in Hungary, where 75 per cent of the Jewish population, a total of 600,000 people, died in the Holocaust. The case of Hungary is unusual in that the Holocaust survivors were not deported, but were reinstated in their own country, which gives this group a unique psychological profile.; Part 1: The shadow of the past; an elaboration of case studies; neurotic symptoms in the children of Hungarian holocaust survivors; five case studies of small children - grandchildren of survivors; the theoretical background - drawing on the work of Judit Kesztenberg, Aliz Balint, Geza Roheim; methodological questions; the unique psychological structure of Hungarian holocaust survivors; holocaust and neurosis. Part 2: my masters; child analysis of adults; neurotic states in childhood; attempt to explore the psychological histories behind physical diseases; an exploration of the reticent psychological histories behind physical diseases; mother mirror. Part 3: distended world; Peter - the state of a holocaust survivor family in the mirror family therapy; Abel - drawing therapy; Szandra - hidden mourning, lost identity; Lorinc - a three-generational neurosis. Part 4: Outlook; conscious and unconscious deliberations in the Tiszaeszlari trial (Hungarian Dreyfuss affair); collective trauma; afterword - in remembrance of a mulberry tree.; Google Preview content
