The volume is interdisciplinary, bringing together contributions from philosophy, psychology, law, and literary studies to illuminate each of the topics from more than one angle. Each essay is a novel contribution, shedding new light on the relevant subject matter and on Jean Améry's unique perspective. The ensuing picture is rich and multifaceted, uncovering unforeseen traits of Amery's thought, and surprising correlations that have so far been under-researched. It invites further studies of the Holocaust and its consequences to take their cue from non-neutral first person reflections. 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aEmotions 606 $aPsychoanalysis 606 $aVictims of crimes 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSocial sciences$xHistory 606 $aClinical Psychology 606 $aEmotion 606 $aPsychoanalysis 606 $aVictimology 606 $aHistory of Psychology 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aEmotions. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis. 615 0$aVictims of crimes. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xHistory. 615 14$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aEmotion. 615 24$aPsychoanalysis. 615 24$aVictimology. 615 24$aHistory of Psychology. 676 $a838.91409 676 $a303.6 702 $aAtaria$b Yochai$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKravitz$b Amit$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPitcovski$b Eli$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357834203321 996 $aJean Améry$91183584 997 $aUNINA
