As individuals age, they face increasing physical and emotional challenges. Older Holocaust survivors may face greater challenges, due to the complex trauma that they experienced throughout their lives. These survivors can at times be resistant to discussing the meaning of their experiences. One type of intervention that can be particularly effective with this population is art therapy. In Israel, in particular, therapists and clients share a unique narrative since the therapists may be second or third generation Holocaust survivors. The present study investigated the art therapy experience for Holocaust survivors in Israel. Five survivors aged 80–90 and their therapists took part in semi-structured interviews examining the different components of art therapy, including the relationship between the therapist and the survivor and the function of the art. The findings suggested that art therapy can have a substantial impact on the survivors’ ability to share and process their stories, often for the first time, thus strengthening the claim that art therapy can assist survivors in finding meaning at the end of life.

大屠杀幸存者艺术疗法的意义,挑战和特征

随着年龄的增长,他们面临越来越多的身体和情感挑战。大屠杀的幸存者可能会面临更大的挑战,因为他们一生经历了复杂的创伤。这些幸存者有时可能会拒绝讨论他们的经历的含义。对这种人群特别有效的一种干预措施是艺术疗法。特别是在以色列,由于治疗师可能是第二代或第三代大屠杀幸存者,因此治疗师和服务对象有着独特的叙述。本研究调查了以色列大屠杀幸存者的艺术疗法经验。五位80-90岁的幸存者及其治疗师参加了半结构化访谈,考察了艺术疗法的不同组成部分,包括治疗师与幸存者之间的关系以及艺术功能。研究结果表明,艺术疗法通常会对首次幸存者分享和处理他们的故事的能力产生重大影响,从而强化了这样的说法,即艺术疗法可以帮助幸存者在生命的尽头寻找意义。
