Abstract

For children of Holocaust survivors who experience emotional problems, the parental background may complicate their symptomatology and therapy. This paper describes two young patients where involvement of family clarified otherwise incomprehensible behavior and contributed to a relatively successful therapeutic outcome. Given the reported failures of individual therapy, family assessment and therapy appears to better serve the children of survivors.
