Course Description:

The impact of intergenerational transmissions of trauma and the dissociative states of mind that cross from parents to their children has become an important expansion of psychoanalytic theory. Clinical material will be discussed showing how the early death of a mother resulted in a haunting of the lives of many generations of mothers and daughters. Considerations of attachment rupture, trauma, envy, deadly and deadening aggression, and shame will be discussed as part of transgenerational transmission phenomena and how they are worked on in the analytic relationship. Envious attacks, while painful to tolerate, nonetheless need to be processed in order to transform transmissions from the past.
