Abstract

Life of human individuals in a society takes place in a dialectical relation between adaptation and resistance (Peter Brückner). In the treatment of victims of organized violence and persecution, this dialectical relation is often turning into a stressful tension. The reflection of this tension by the therapist, and also by his or her team, is essential. Especially the personal indignation, which is an answer to the social trauma and the »blaming the victim« has to be managed. Key words: Adaptation, Resistance, Treatment of Victims of Violence, Ego States of the Therapist, Denial of Trauma, Blaming the Victim, Indignation
