اندوه فاجعه‌بار، آسیب و تاب‌آوری در بازماندگان کودک اردوگاه‌های تمرکز: نگاهی بازنگرانه به تجربیات هولوکاست آن‌ها

Nine child concentration camp survivors were interviewed in their old age, evidencing enduring effects related to their traumatic experiences. All participants retained vivid recollections of internment and experienced catastrophic grief in relation to loss of parents and siblings. While resilience was evident, negotiation of life meaning was shaped by Holocaust-related memories and existential loneliness in old age. "The particular value of the work elaborated in this book is that it can be seen from both a research and a clinical lens, producing findings by way of eyewitness testimony and reports of profound personal experience. The accounts of child survivors find resonance with theories of lifespan development and the long-term effects of early trauma and the nature of resilience, and in addition, the findings of this research have produced relevant clinical and practical outcomes for survivors and their families. The book is written and produced by three talented, well-informed psychologists, all recognized for their clinical acumen and experience. Going deeper than the immediate brief of describing the nature of this particular horror of child Holocaust survivors, they provide valuable guidance and support for ongoing professional intervention with those who experience early and massive trauma by demonstrating the lifelong effects of this kind of traumatization. The individual case histories make moving and poignant stories"-- Provided by publisher Contents Acknowledgments Foreword Preface Introduction 1. Literature Review 2. Research Approach 3.

Turnitin Plagiarism Report Index This volume comprehensively explores the life trajectories of nine child/adolescent Holocaust concentration camp survivors as recollected when the subjects were elders. Based on extensive face to face interview material, enduring psychological and symptomatic effects were evident. Survivors retained vivid recollections of the horror of internment and expressed ongoing grief for the multiple losses they had experienced. Unresolved grief contributed to a sense of existential loneliness, particularly prominent in their late life reflections. Despite indications of resilience and life productivity, a 'Trauma Trilogy' of inter-linked catastrophic grief, anger, and survivor guilt contributed to a sense of pain and struggle in negotiating Erikson's final life task of Integrity versus Despair.
