Abstract
Offspring of Holocaust survivors are found to experience their parents as emotionally detached, and therefore to cling dependently. Fear relating to control of hostile impulses also contributes to the dependency. Parents who have survived the Holocaust may regard their children's individuation as another familial loss. Implications for therapeutic work with this population are considered.Keywords
