Trauma and the intergenerational transmission of its effects had been marginalized within psychoanalysis for many years. Studies of the Holocaust and its effect on the second and third generation during the 1960’s and 70’s brought transgenerational transmission of trauma into psychoanalysis. This introductory class will review early psychoanalytic papers on trauma and its impact, the traumatic multi-generational effects of the Holocaust and the legacy of the trauma of slavery. We will also study the mechanisms of transmission with an emphasis on attachment theory. Healing trans-generational trauma will be viewed as an intrapsychic and interpersonal process discussed through clinical illustration.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to identify aspects of transgenerational transmissions in the fragmentary ways in which they appear.
2. Participants will learn to identify how transmissions occur through ruptures in attachment and how to work with this in treatment.
3. Participants will learn how to utilize theories of transgenerational transmissions so as to be aware of when enactments involve multiple generations and more easily understand what can and what cannot be repaired.
