Abstract
Many features of the psychologic sequelae in survivors of Nazi persecution are consistent with “traumatic neurosis,” but persistent guilt, which appears to be due to having identified with the aggressor, and self-loathing are not. Three cases of psychotherapy with survivors only peripherally affected by the persecution are discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
