The Third Reich in the Unconscious concerns itself with the third element of the psychological impact of massive human trauma: transgenerational transmission of psychological tasks. In order to study this topic and identify its pertinence to Third Reich-related case studies, the authors both revisit the effects of the Holocaust on second-generation survivors and outline the mechanics of transgenerational transmission in general. Decribing in detail how transgenerational transmission occurs, this book focuses on the psychological processes of the younger generations, outside of their identification with directly traumatize ancestors, and explains how historical image contaminate the expression of developmental conflicts at all levels. Also included are complete treatment processes for Jewish and German second-generation individuals, and, for the very first time, a full analysis of a traveller (gypsy). Accessible to the general reader, The Third Reich in the Unconscious will be of interest to anyone concerned with the Holocaust or past traumatic historical events.

Industry Reviews

"At a time when there is an increasing threat to the security of the world and war is looming on the horizon, we can still find traces of the Third Reich in the unconscious of those who have been directly or indirectly affected by its evil. By analyzing the impact of war and destructiveness through the generations, the book is a most important contribution to the effort for their prevention in the future." -- Ilany Kogan, Psychoanalyst and Training Analyst of the Israel Psychoanalytic Association
"In spite of the unspeakable and unthinkable subject of this book, the authors have written hopefully, and with a deep faith in peoples' wisdom and courage, that these malignancies can be ameliorated with the insights of psychoanalysis so that our children can be healthier and especially wiser to take action to prevent ongoing and worldwide needless tragedies, misery and genocide." -- Stuart W. Twemlow, M.D., Faculty, Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
"There could be no better moment for the publication of The Third Reich in the Unconscious. This important study of the legacy of the large group traumatic experience of the Holocaust provides a brilliant analysis of the transgenerational transmission of trauma that has global implications for today's world." -- Psychologist-Psychoanalyst
