Brief group therapy with offspring of holocaust survivors: leaders' reactions.
The authors, themselves children of Holocaust survivors, discuss their reactions and experiences in leading nine short-term awareness groups designed for this population. They evaluate their role as leaders, and examine countertransference, personal motivation, and the establishment of goals within the group context. Preparation for therapists leading short-term homogeneous groups of which they are not members is also explored.
