Abstract

This study of coping strategies reports on interviews with 19 survivors of Nazi concentration camps. The subjects, relatively healthy survivors who were not severely psychiatrically disabled, were interviewed in Jerusalem and the San Francisco Bay area. The author presents a classification of coping strategies in extreme stress situations and discusses the long-term effectiveness of certain of these strategies.
