The Effects of Gender and Survival Situation of the Parent Holocaust Survivor on Their Offspring: An Attachment Perspective.
CONCLUSIONS: The research results highlight the basic argument of Attachment Theory: The need for a significant other to help in engendering in the individual a sense of security, emotional regulation, and the ability to cope with difficult times.

Alcohol Related Harm: Knowledge Assessment of Medical and Nursing Staff in a General Hospital.
