The Routledge International Handbook of Multidisciplinary
Perspectives on Descendants of Holocaust Survivors offers a
comprehensive collection of cutting-edge studies from a wide range
of fields dealing with new research about descendants of Holocaust
survivors. Examining the aftermath of the Holocaust on the Second
Generation and Third Generation, children and grandchildren of
Holocaust survivors, it is the first volume to bring together
research perspectives from history, psychology, sociology,
communications, literature, film, theater, art, music, biology, and
medicine. With contributions from international experts, key topics
covered include survivor characteristics and experiences; the
phenomenological experience of transmitted trauma legacies; the
creation of Second Generation groups; the epigenetics of inherited
trauma; the development of Second Generation writing;
representation of Holocaust survivors in film; music and the
transmission of memory; art, music, and the Holocaust; ancestral
trauma and its effect on the ageing process of subsequent
generations; 2G and 3G health issues and outcomes. Divided into two
sections, the first deals with the humanities: history and
testimony, literature, film and theater, art, and music. The second
section, focusing on the social sciences and health-related
sciences, contains chapters dealing with studies in the fields of
psychology, sociology, anthropology, communication, gerontology,
nursing, and medicine. This insightful handbook is a contemporary
anthology for advanced students and scholars in the humanities,
along with those in behavioral, social, and health-related sciences
concerned with research about second- and third-generation
Holocaust survivors.
This book focuses on the concept of subjective views of aging. This
concept refers to the way individuals conceptualize and perceive
the aging process. Social and cultural perceptions regarding older
adults are incorporated and internalized into views people hold
regarding their own aging process. The book contains three parts
which present theoretical, empirical, and translational
perspectives about subjective views of aging. The theoretical
section expands the framework of subjective views of aging with the
inclusion of additional concepts, and further integrates these
concepts by accounting for their synergistic effects. The empirical
section presents recent developments in the field starting at the
intra-individual level as assessed by ecological momentary
assessments, going through the level of interpersonal
relationships, and concluding at the social and cultural levels.
Finally, the translational section presents recent endeavours to
develop interventions aimed at advancing favourable views of aging.
This cutting-edge edited book includes chapters written by
internationally renowned scholars in the field and serves as an
up-to-date resource for scholars in the field as well as a textbook
for students in courses like social gerontology, lifespan
psychology, and life course sociology.
