- Summary
- "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.
