Original Title: Der Abschied

In his years of experience with patients, Hellinger has witnessed the consequences of the guilt of persecutors and the fate of victims of Nationalsocialism for subsequent generations. This book documents the attempt to help these patients confront the victims and persecutors in their own families and thereby lessen and even heal their suffering. In doing so, all participants are allowed to speak: survivors, children, even the guilty and the dead. When these voices are recognized, they withdraw and allow the living to transcend that boundary which still separates them from death.

Bert Hellinger

Bert Hellinger is probably Europe's most innovative and provocative psychotherapist and a best-selling psychotherapy author. A former priest and a missionary in South Africa for 16 years, as well as an educator, a psychoanalyst, body therapist, group dynamic therapist, and family therapist, he brings a lifetime of experience and wisdom to his work. The family constellations, which have become the hallmark of Hellinger's approach, as well as his observations about systemic entanglement and resolution, have touched the lives of thousands of people and have changed how many helping professionals carry out their own work.
