Case illustrations are used to support the hypothesis that there may be a survivor-child's complex, though a pathological syndrome cannot be detected. A metapsychological profile extrapolated from a long analysis is intended to serve as a vehicle for comparison with other similar cases. The salient features of this profile seem to be derived from the survivor's family's intense preoccupation with life and death and with the means of undoing the parent's past degradation and redeeming his guilt.
案例说明用于支持这样一种假设，即可能存在幸存者儿童情结，尽管无法检测到病理综合征。从长期分析中推断出的元心理学概况旨在作为与其他类似案例进行比较的工具。这一概况的显著特征似乎源自幸存者家庭对生死的极度关注，以及对消除父母过去的屈辱和救赎其罪恶的方式的关注。
