Based on twenty years of intense qualitative research,
Transcending Trauma presents an integrated model of coping and
adaptation after trauma that incorporates the best of recent work
in the field with the expanded insights offered by Holocaust
survivors. In the book s vignettes and interview transcripts,
survivors of a broad range of traumas will recognize their own
challenges, and mental-health professionals will gain invaluable
insight into the dominant themes both of Holocaust survivors and of
trauma survivors more generally. Together, the authors and
contributors Sheryl Perlmutter Bowen, Hannah Kliger, Lucy Raizman,
Juliet Spitzer and Emilie Scherz Passow have transformed
qualitative narrative analysis and framed for us a new and profound
understanding of survivorship. Their study has illuminated
universal aspects of the recovery from trauma, and Transcending
Trauma makes a vital contribution to our understanding of how
survivors find meaning after traumatic events.
Accompanying Transcending Trauma is a CD of full-text life
histories that documents the survivor experience. In seven
comprehensive interviews, survivors paint a picture of life before
and after war and trauma: their own feelings, beliefs, and
personalities as well as those of their family; their struggles to
deal with loss and suffering; and the ways in which their family
relationships were able, in some cases, to mediate the transmission
of trauma across generations and help the survivors transcend the
trauma of their experiences.
