Confrontation with Death
Book •
In "Confrontation with Death," Eddie de Wind explores the psychological impact of facing death in extreme circumstances, particularly drawing from his experiences as a survivor of Auschwitz.
Published shortly after the war, the book delves into the psychological defenses and adaptations that individuals develop when confronted with the constant threat of death.
De Wind examines the concept of the "death principle" and its role in enabling survival, contrasting it with Freud's death drive.
The book also explores the long-term psychological consequences of trauma and the challenges faced by survivors in reintegrating into society.
It stands as a significant contribution to the understanding of trauma and resilience.
