This book is one additional indication that a new field of study is
emerging within the social sciences, if it has not emerged already.
Here is a sampling of the fruit of a field whose roots can be
traced to the earliest medical writings in Kahun Papyrus in 1900
B.C. In this document, according to Ilza Veith, the earliest
medical scholars described what was later identified as hysteria.
This description was long before the 1870s and 1880s when Char cot
speculated on the etiology of hysteria and well before the first
use of the term traumatic neurosis at the turn of this Century.
Traumatic stress studies is the investigation of the immediate and
long-term psychosocial consequences of highly stressful events and
the factors that affect those consequences. This definition
includes three primary elements: event, conse quences, and causal
factors affecting the perception of both. This collection of papers
addresses all three elements and collectively contributes to our
understanding and appreciation of the struggles of those who have
en dured so much, often with little recognition of their
experiences."
Based on a unique research study, this volume examines the later
life development of Holocaust survivors from Israel and the US.
Through systematic interviews, the authors - noted researchers and
clinicians - collected data about the lives of these survivors and
how they compared to peers who did not share this experience. The
orientation of the book synthesizes several conceptual approaches -
gerontological and life span development, stress research, and
traumatology, and also reflects the varied disciplines of the
authors, spanning psychology, social work, and sociology. The
result is a multi-faceted view of their subject with an
understanding of the individual, society, and the interaction of
the two, tempered by the authors' own Holocaust experiences.
Chapters cover a range of areas including stress and coping of
these survivors, reviews of their heath and mental health, an
examination of their social integration, as well as a review of the
multiple predictors of psychological well-being and adaptation to
aging. This book will be of interest to psychologists, social
workers, sociologists, psychiatrists, and all those who study both
trauma and aging.
