Abstract

Evaluates the transgenerational effects of World War II Japanese-American internment on 3rd-generation Japanese-Americans whose parents were interned. Five cases illustrate issues of inhibited family communication, self-esteem, vocation, assertiveness, and identity that may be related to internment. Treatment techniques (family and narrative therapy and dreams and imagery in therapy) are discussed, and the role of the therapist is addressed.
