Abstract:
Some clinicians argue that the traditional views of psychological health and illness should not be applied to aged Holocaust survivors. They place survivors in a special category of people who, having challenged the void and asserted the positive presence of life after the Holocaust, render meaningless any conventional judgments of "good" or "bad" psychological adjustment.
