Four encounters between descendants of survivors and descendants of perpetrators of the holocaust: building social bonds out of silence

Article Abstract:

This report is on the transgenerational aftereffects of the Jewish Holocaust and how it was processed between the descendants of the perpetrators and the survivors through open dialogue. The encounter group was composed of eight American Jews, and eight Germans. The study is the very first attempt to face the double wall of psychological symmetry on the part of the perpetrators and moral asymmetry on the part of the survivors as well as the issue of a cross cultural 'conspiracy of silence.' Though the process serves as an alternative and is complementary to other, ethical, political, and juridical processes, its healing touches the social and psychological wounds wrought by violent transgressions.

Stable negative social exchanges and health

Article Abstract:

The impacts of negative social exchanges with family, neighbors and friends on health are investigated. Findings show that higher levels of stable negative social exchanges are predictors of a greater number of health conditions, lower self-rating of health and more functional limitations. The significance of examining recurring and continual interpersonal problems and their effects on health is discussed.
