Dr. Eitinger fled to Norway in 1939, at the start of the World War II. He was caught and deported to Auschwitz, where, among others, he operated on Elie Wiesel who has written the foreword to this volume. After the war, Eitinger became a pioneering researcher on a subject from which many shied away. His contributions to understanding of the experience of massive psychological trauma have inspired others to do similar work. His many books and papers are listed in this special volume of the acclaimed bibliographic series edited by Israel W. Charny of The Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide in Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to acquaint users of this bibliography with the topic, two introductory articles are offered. The first is titled \"Survivors and Their Families\" and deals with the impact of the Holocaust on individuals. The second, \"Psychiatry and the Holocaust,\" examines the general impact of the Holocaust on the field of psychiatry. Robert Krell writes that in general the psychiatric literature has reflected critically on the survivor due to preconceived notions held by many mental health professionals. For many years, the exploration of victims' psychopathology obscured the remarkable adaptation made by some survivors. The problems experienced by survivors and possible approaches to treatment were entirely absent from mainstream psychiatric textbooks such as the \u003cem\u003eComprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry \u003c\/em\u003ethroughout the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifty years of observations about survivors of the concentration camps and other survivors of the Holocaust (in hiding, as partisans, in slave labor camps) has provided a new body of medical and psychiatric literature. This comprehensive bibliography contains a plethora of references to significant pieces of literature regarding the Holocaust and its effects on survivors. It will be of inestimable value to physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, along with historians, sociologists, and Holocaust studies specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Krell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113851201X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138512016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robert Krell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447847727359,"sku":"9781138512016","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b051aea8-ca9e-4d73-8020-0544237b07f8.jpg?v=1777235209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medical-and-psychological-effects-of-robert-krell-9781138512016","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
