The Importance of Father- Son Bonds The memoir, Night, written by Elie Wiesel tells a young man’s account of the brutal and cruelest event in history, the Holocaust. He explains his struggle with his faith during his time in the concentration camp. Losing his father, experiencing death of others, he begins to lose faith in God, only remaining the faith he has for his father; that eventually leads to his survival.

Therefore that has made Stan have trust issues and has he said just blend in. Stan has never really opened up to anyone about his problems and is having trouble communicating. He also has issues with his father. In my opinion I feel Stan thinks his father doesn’t love him like he loves his siblings and even thinks of Stan as a nuisance. The technique that was used in this session was Psychoanalytical orientated and I think that is the best approach to use with Stan.
