17. Before the Holocaust
• Elie Wiesel lived in Sighet,
Transylvania with his father,
mother, and three sisters.
• He was an extremely religious,
sensitive, and emotional adolescent;
he had an “unsentimental”
relationship with his father (Wiesel,
1960).
18. Movement into the Ghetto
• Early on in “Night,” Wiesel and his
family were forced into the ghetto.
• They lived there very briefly,
sharing a home with many other
family members. They lived in fear
of transport and of the German
Nazi officers (Wiesel, 1960).
19. Deportation
• Wiesel and his family were moved
out of the ghetto and forced onto
cattle cars. They were forced to
stand with 80 people to each car for
more than three days on their way
to the concentration camp (Wiesel,
1960).
20. Arrival at Auschwitz
• Wiesel experienced a great deal of trauma
in very quick succession; in order to cope
with his new environment in the
concentration camps, he developed
defense mechanisms (Bluhm, 1999).
• According to Kępiński, the initial shock of
entering the concentration camp was the
most traumatic event in a Holocaust
victim’s experience; it was important to
adapt quickly to the conditions (Kępiński,
2008).
21. Defense and Coping Mechanisms
• According to Bluhm, in order to deal
with the experiences that Wiesel faced,
he needed to develop many new
personality traits that would allow him
to survive and tolerate the horrors of
the concentration camps. He
developed these “defensive
mechanisms” in order to cope with
their experiences (1999).
22. Personal “Angel”
• Wiesel’s survival relied on a personal
“angel” that reminded him of the
outside world and provided a contrast
to the misery of the concentration
camp. For Wiesel, his father played the
role of his “angel.” His father
represented a tie to humanity and to
the world outside of the horrors of
the concentration camp (Kępiński,
2008).
23. Interpersonal Relationships
• Those who survived their time in the
concentration camps mainly attributed
the establishment of close
relationships with others in order to
have social support (Prot, 2012).
• Wiesel, who was once a shy child,
quickly made friends with others his
age, and he described his interactions
with others as “brotherly,” kind, and
supportive (Wiesel, 1960).
24. “Reason to Live”
• It is in my opinion that Wiesel
developed a reason to live, and he
made that reason his father. For
example, when Wiesel thought his
father died on the train, he felt he
had lost all reason to live. These
suicidal thoughts did not dissipate
until he realized his father was alive
(Wiesel, 1960).
25. Coping Mechanism: Optimism
• According to Prot, a large contributor to
Wiesel’s comparative well-being was his
ability to remain optimistic and hopeful
despite their environment (2012).
• Wiesel felt confident that he would recover
from his foot surgery, live through
selection in the camps, and be liberated
(Wiesel ,1960).
• Without this glimmer of hope, it would be
impossible to maintain any level of sanity
(Prot, 2012).
26. Humor as a Coping Mechanism
• Humor between prisoners was frequently
used as a coping mechanism for the
horrors and traumatic experiences they
faced (Ostrower, 2015).
• According to Ostrower, the prisoners used
humor as defense mechanisms that help
protect the individual from anxiety and
threatening emotions. Being able to joke
with those around them helped individuals
cope with their experiences in the
concentration camps (2015).
27. Humor as a Coping Mechanism
• Wiesel, along with his fellow prisoners, used
dark humor in otherwise uncomfortable
situations, such as the public hangings and
constant degradation, in order to cope.
• It was common for prisoners to joke about
food and “off-color” subjects, particularly
sex or death (Ostrower, 2012).
• Wiesel developed this dark, sarcastic humor
as a defense mechanism against the fear
of separation from his father, his potential
selection, starvation, and even death (Wiesel,
1960).
28. Defense Mechanisms
• Wiesel’s environment also attributed to the
development of less positive defense mechanisms,
including a lack of emotions, feelings of
estrangement, withdrawal from others,
desensitivity to injuries and illness, and
depersonalization.
• As a defense mechanism against the traumas he
faced, Wiesel experienced estrangement from his
loved ones, particularly his father.
• As a result of feeling helpless and weak against his
enemies, Wiesel channeled his frustration and
anger towards his father (Bluhm, 1999).
29. Defense Mechanism: “Abandonment of Faith”
• One of the biggest changes in Wiesel’s
development was his “abandonment of
faith.” For many of the Jewish people
subjected to the horrors of the Holocaust, it
was easier to believe that there could not be
an omnipotent god that would allow the Jews
to suffer as they did during that time.
• Abandonment of faith was a coping
mechanism that protected Wiesel from the
sense of abandonment and betrayal that he
would have felt from his God otherwise
(Lassley, 2015).
30. Defense Mechanism: Somatic Apathy
• During the death march, Wiesel and
his father were forced to run from one
concentration camp to another,
covering 40 miles on foot in the snow
(Wiesel, 1960).
• According to Ataria, somatic apathy is
characterized by the idea that one’s
body part or entire body is “alien” or
does not belong to them as a defensive
mechanism in response to torture and
trauma (2015).
31. Defense Mechanism: Somatic Apathy
• As he ran for 40 miles on his injured
foot, he was subjected to extreme cold,
exhaustion, hunger, dehydration, and
fear; however, during these times of
extreme stress and trauma Wiesel
claimed to have forgotten he “owned a
body” and experienced a disownership
of his limbs, particularly his feet.
• Wiesel claimed that he felt his foot had
“detached” from his body (Wiesel,
1960).
32. Defense Mechanism: Inability to Mourn
• According to “trauma theory,” before
recovery from extreme trauma can
begin, a trauma survivor must first be
able to feel secure in their future and
safe in their surroundings. This meant
that prior to remembering their loved
ones or trying to make sense of their
past, the trauma victim must first move
beyond the dangers that they are facing
(Goldenberg, 2009).
33. Defense Mechanisms: Inability to Mourn
• Following his liberation from the
camp, Wiesel was in limbo; he faced an
uncertain future without food security,
a stable shelter, a support group, or
even clothing. This mechanism allowed
Wiesel to focus on regaining his health
and finding shelter, food, and safety
without succumbing to the depression
and anxiety involved with mourning
(Wiesel, 1960).
34. Decreased Well-Being
• While the defense mechanisms that Wiesel
utilized helped him cope with the trauma he
experienced, the environment of the
concentration camps had detrimental effects on
his overall well-being.
• He faced constant food deprivation and
malnourishment during their time in
concentration camps. The quality of the food
was poor, and the quantity was never sufficient.
Many of the victims around Wiesel died within
the first three months due to complications of
malnourishment and forced slave labor (Wiesel,
1960).
35. Disordered Eating
• The deprivation of food for extended periods of time
caused Wiesel to develop disordered eating habits and
an obsession with food both within the camps and
following their liberation (Sindler, 2004).
• At first, he turned down a bowl of thick soup, but for
years to come, Wiesel’s main thoughts tended to
focus on food and acquiring any sort of nourishment.
He considered risking his own life to acquire food
that he knew was off-limits. Later on, Wiesel
succumbed to scavenging for scraps and grass.
Following his liberation, Wiesel admits that even after
he had eaten, he was immediately preoccupied with
finding more food, and his thoughts about food were
so intense that he thought of nothing else, not even
his family (Wiesel, 1960).
36. KZ Syndrome
• Wiesel suffered from KZ syndrome, the
specific type of traumatic stress disorder that
results from the conditions of the Holocaust,
including torture in the form of exhaustion,
starvation, dehydration, forced separation
from loved ones, forced labor, degradation,
and public beatings.
• These conditions, coupled with the fact that
the Nazi party attempted to eliminate an
entire group of people, creating conditions
of “extreme stress” and trauma that resulted
in innumerable psychological effects
(Krysinska, 2012).
37. KZ Syndrome
• Symptoms of the disorder and
persecution include somatic symptoms,
suicidal ideation, emotional instability,
depression, anxiety, sleep complaints,
and “disruption of social and
interpersonal functioning,” including
withdrawal and alienation (Krysinska,
2012). Wiesel exhibits many of the
symptoms of KZ syndrome during his
time in the concentration camp
(Wiesel, 1960).
38. KZ Syndrome: Interpersonal Functioning
• Wiesel experiences the “disruption
of interpersonal functioning” early
on, having hostile thoughts towards
his father more than once for
actions beyond his control. For
example, he feels intense anger
towards his father for being beaten
by a Kapo and for being helpless
during his illness (Wiesel, 1960).
39. KZ Syndrome: Suicidal Thoughts
• There were several instances in which
Wiesel considered allowing himself to die,
and the frequency of these suicidal
thoughts increased as he experienced more
trauma within the camps.
• He considered stopping during the death
march, aware that he would either be shot
by a guard or trampled by those behind
him. He also considered falling asleep in
the snow, aware that doing so would result
in hypothermia and death (Wiesel, 1960).
40. KZ Syndrome: Depression
• Wiesel experienced a dark depression.
He described his life in and after the
camps as one endless, “cursed night.”
Wiesel also withdrew into a state of
“total idleness” following his father’s
death, claiming that his life “no longer
mattered.” Furthermore, Wiesel’s life
for years following his liberation were
marked by a depressive state in which
he was unable to discuss the events
that occurred during the Holocaust
(Wiesel, 1960).
41. KZ Syndrome: Anxiety and Sleep Complaints
• A major source of decreased well-being is forced
migration from one’s home. During the
Holocaust, Wiesel was constantly subjected to
deportations from his home into a ghetto, and
then from the ghetto into concentration camps.
Forced migration meant forced separation from
his home, religious community, school, and family;
this has been proven to lead to an increased risk
of post-traumatic stress disorder, particularly
anxiety (Nickerson, 2012).
• When rumors about selection and transport were
going around the camp, he experienced acute
anxiety and its associated symptoms, especially
sleeplessness (Wiesel, 1960).
42. Loss of Control and Decreased Well-Being
• Certain human rights violations used
by the perpetrators, such as
“disruptions in interpersonal
processes, decreased perceptions of
control, and the denigration of
individual and group identity,” tend to
contribute greatly to depressive
symptoms and “psychosocial
impairment” that is evident in Wiesel
(Hermansson, et al. 2003).
43. Loss of Control and Decreased Well-Being
• Wiesel experienced a total loss of
control; he was denied the ability to
decide when he ate, used the lavatory,
and slept. Furthermore, he had no
control over where he worked, what he
wore, where he went, or where he
lived.
• He also lacked control over the
treatment of others; he was unable to
stop the abuse and death of his father
and other prisoners (Wiesel, 1960).
44. Decreased Well-Being: Denigration
• Insults and mistreatment from the perpetrators
created a sense of denigration among the camp
prisoners (Nickerson, 2014). The fate of
prisoners’ lives were decided like they were “cattle
or merchandise.” During their march between
camps, the prisoners were called “swine” and
“filthy sons of bitches” by the SS guardsmen. The
prisoners had their names taken away, and in their
place they were given numbers (Wiesel, 1960).
• This had a negative impact on Wiesel, resulting in
low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, post-
traumatic stress disorder, and decreased well-being
overall (Nickerson, 2014).
45. The Survival of Elie Wiesel
• Elie Wiesel developed many coping and defense
mechanisms during the Holocaust in order to deal with his
environment, including somatic apathy, interdependent
relationships, humor, and an inability to mourn. Despite
these defense mechanisms, Wiesel was unable to avoid the
effects of prolonged trauma; as a result, he experienced a
decrease in overall well-being. He suffered from disordered
eating and KZ-syndrome, a specific type of post-traumatic
stress disorder that is characterized in part by depression,
anxiety, suicidal ideation, and sleep complaints. His survival
has been marked by significant losses and trauma that has
followed him throughout his life.

49. The
Theory
Behavior Modification
According to Laura Berk, behavior modification consists of
procedures that combine conditioning and modeling to eliminate
undesirable behaviors and increase desirable behaviors (Berk,
2014).
So is it possible to foster undesirable behaviors through
conditioning and modeling?
51. Effects of being a full time mother
• Holly Schiffrin and Miriam Liss, interviewed 181 mothers of
children 5 and under, and combined their study with another done
by the University of North Carolina interviewing 1,300 working
mothers. The findings suggest that a full time mother faces more
stress that effects their attitude and anger management, which in
turn affects the children in negative ways, possibly stunting their
emotional growth (Warner, 2012).
52. Passive Aggressive
• Stacey’s mother also seems to use a lot of passive aggressive
behavior to get what she wants. She often calls people by the
wrong names, or makes herself out to be the victim of what is
usually her own choices, such as choosing to get involved in a
pyramid scheme. After being modeled for a young Stacey, it is
very easy to see places in his narrative where Stacey always talks
about himself as if he were the victim. He will do little things to
bother people clearly with the end goal of causing an overreaction
from the other party (Whitson, 2013).
53. Mom’s Fault
• A recent study challenged the assertion that children of an
unstable home have more developmental issues. It used a
national two generational longitudinal survey that looks at the
behavioral and cognitive development of children from various
different living situations. The findings were that the mother’s
attributes seemed to have a much larger effect on the children
than anything else (Fomby & Cherlin, 2007).
55. Reform Judaism and Challenging Stereotypes
• There is, and has been for a while, a strong movement in the
Jewish society to update Judaism and keep it moving into the
future so that it doesn’t become stale. They are rejecting a lot of
the orthodox thought in order to adapt with changing times
(Spokoiny, 2014).
57. Self Fulfilling Prophecy – The Father
• Anne Bernstein theorizes that much of the “issues” that come up
with children post-divorce are, in fact, a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In other words, they develop issues because they believe they are
supposed to develop issues based on researched gleamed from her
studies (Bernstein, 2007).
58. Remarried and Remarried again – My Two Dads
• A longitudinal family study interviewing 173 people 20 years after
their parents divorced to find out how the divorce and subsequent
remarriage, or cohabitation, or other family dynamic effected the
persons sense of family. One of the results of this study was that
many of these children felt that their parents remarriages were
more stressful then the original divorce (Ahrons, 2007).
59. The Favorite
• Some studies have shown that perceptions of unequal treatment
persist with a person through adolescence and into adulthood,
straining the relationship between the two siblings as well as
effecting the personality of both the perceived favorited, and
perceived disfavored child (Finzi-Dottan & Cohen, 2011).
60. Effortful Control ( Or Lack Thereof) – The
Home Life
• A study found that parent’s effortful control was effected
negatively in the presence of chaos and when their children
behaved negatively, and their effortful control was effected
positively when their children exhibited positive behavior. The
same for the children, they had less effortful control in chaos and
when their parents were exhibiting negative parenting behaviors
and more in a stable home with parent’s exhibiting positive
behaviors (Valiente, Lemery-Chalfant, & Reiser, 2007).
62. Going to Crazy Town
• There have been some studies that show constant moving can lead
to an increase in psychotic behavior, up to, and including,
hallucinations (Singh, 2012).
63. They Were a Close Family
• Thin walls and relatively small living spaces create a much less
private living conditions than more traditional houses or even
apartment living. According to a study, this leads to both negative
consequences in the form of gossip and nothing being secret, and
more positive outcomes in the form of increased harmony and
closeness among the residents (Newton, 2014).
64. Bad and on the Move
• Across the board the people whom reported many moves to
different homes reported less life satisfaction and were more
prone to behavioral problems (Oishi & Schimmack, 2010).
66. Appreciation versus Generation – Who wins?
• Doctor Arnie Cann believes that humor is a multidimensional
construct with many different aspects that can be either
beneficial or detrimental to a person’s psychological well-being.
He believes that the “sense of humor” is made up of different
components, such as the “humor appreciation,” that is finding
humor in a situation, versus “humor generation,” that is making
up something humorous divorced from a situation (Cann & Kuiper,
2014)
67. Neither! Disparaging Humor trumps them all!
• During a study on disparaging humor to see how it effects people,
the researchers mention how Sigmund Freud said that we use
ridiculing humor to mask our true hostilities and frustrations
(Janes & Olson, 2010)
• Some studies have shown that not forgiving someone whom is
perceived to have transgressed against you can lead to some long
term negative emotional effects (Halstead, 2010).
68. But can something Good, come from
something Bad?
• Laughter has been shown to have a lot of positive effects. It has
been proven to improve mood, help people cope with traumatic
situations, and even has positive physiological effects on people
(Winter, 2006).
71. VYGOTSKY’STHEORY
Theory argues that social interaction precedes development; consciousness and
cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior
Learns how to cook.
Learns how to communicate with others.
Learns how to predict weather.
His co-workers taught him these things.

73. SOLITUDE DEVELOPMENT
In my research I decided to look into how solitude affects development.
It makes people more self-reflective
Many spiritual leaders would go into solitude and come back later with many
answers. –The book would be Peter’s answer.
You become your own judge of right and wrong.
74. HIS COMING OF AGE
Peter learns how to be a man within this story. He jumps from boyhood to man
with the help of his co-workers. His co-workers helped Peter become confident in
his interests.
He also learns a little on professions. Helps build a boat, skins a goat, learns how
to boat fish, and most importantly learns the importance of routine.

95. The ability of a parent and child to bond while grieving
the loss of a beloved family member is essential for future
growth as a family. Research conducted has shown when
parents and children had similar grieving experiences, the
parent stated that they could relate to their child better
throughout the grieving process. When this process
occurred the death of a child within a family actually
made the family bond stronger (Bugge, Darbyshire,
Rokholt, Haugstvedt, 2012).

Diana. Miu, Andrei C. (2015). Shame and guilt-proneness in adolescents:
gene-environment interactions.
This research suggests that shame and guilt are self-conscious emotions.
These emotions play adaptive roles in social behavior. Shame and guilt-
proneness are developed in the stages of childhood and adolescence.
These emotions are influenced by genetic and environmental factors
and research has uncovered very little because there are so many
variables. Early trauma in childhood seems to have the greatest impact.
Also, environmental factors such as religious taboos will scare
adolescents when they begin having sexual urges. Genetic factors
contribute as well when a child’s family tree is filled with addiction,
poverty, lack of education, and malnutrition.

Part 1. Family influences.
This article focuses on how alcoholic parents affect their
children’s self-esteem. The author, Maureen Killeen, suggests
that children mimic coping mechanisms that their alcoholic
parents use. As a result, their children measure their self-
concept on unique dimensions and use atypical standards to
interpret their behaviors. The outcome is that children do
not learn to realistically assess their strengths and abilities.
