Dr. Sylvia Flescher
(MAHWAH, NJ) – Dr. Sylvia Flescher, a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst in private practice in Ridgewood, N.J. and a faculty member at Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York City, spoke at Ramapo College of New Jersey September 22 at the invitation of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies of Ramapo College.
Her talk, “Googling for Ghosts: A Meditation on Writer’s Block, Mourning and the Holocaust,” described her decades-long struggle with writer’s block and how her voice was overshadowed by her analyst father, a writer and Holocaust survivor. Themes of survivor guilt, incomplete mourning and the transmission of trauma to the second generation were discussed.
