Abstract

PADILHA, Carolina Rizzatto Martins  and  BARBIERI, Valeria. Transgenerational psychic transmission: a literature review. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.52, n.1, pp. 243-270. ISSN 0101-4838.

This study aimed to investigate what has been published in the national and international literature on transgenerational psychic transmission. The bibliographical survey used the temporal criterion of the last fifteen years and the databases Lilacs, PsycINFO, Scielo and PePSIC. The study consisted of 27 articles. The results indicated that the selected studies used the qualitative method, are national and come from empirical research, clinical practice and theorists. Few have accessed three generations, including children and male lineages. Concluding, it was possible to establish a reflective and differentiated view about family relations as constituents of individual psychic suffering. The studies emphasized the possibility of creative transformation of these symptomatic family legacies, going beyond the negative bias of psychic transmission between generations.

Keywords : psychic transmission between generations; psychoanalytic theory; literature review.
