Fittingly, the has invited Hadas Wiseman, Ph.D., to give a free colloquium on Wednesday, January 28, 2015, at 1:00 p.m., on 鈥淚ntergenerational Echoes of the Holocaust in Second and Third Generations.鈥� The event will be held at 果酱视频’s Alumni House, 154 Cambridge Avenue, in Garden City, NY.

Dr. Wiseman, a professor in the Department of Counseling and Human Development at the University of Haifa, Israel, is the co-author with Derner Institute Dean Jacques P. Barber, Ph.D., of (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008).

In her lecture, Dr. Wiseman will discuss her research on second-generation Holocaust survivors, specifically their intergenerational communication style of 鈥渒nowing鈥� and 鈥渘ot knowing.鈥� She explained:听鈥淭he survivor鈥檚 story is both 鈥榢nown鈥� in that it has an unspoken presence in the home and 鈥榥ot known鈥� to the sons and daughters, who in turn fear that questioning their parents may reopen old wounds.鈥�

She will also share her findings about the experiences of the third generation, which she refers to as 鈥渆choes of the echoes.鈥�

For their book, Dr. Wiseman and Dr. Barber applied Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) to analyze the narratives shared by second-generation Holocaust about growing up in survivor homes. Dr. Wiseman will describe their use of CCRT and its implications for understanding and treating the survivors of other traumas.

The talk is highly relevant for practicing and aspiring clinicians, particularly those interested in the long-term effects of massive trauma and how these are passed from one generation to the next.
