Abstract

TRACHTENBERG, Ana Rosa Chait. Transgenerational identity ("transgenerationality"): about silences, crypts, phantoms, and other destinies. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.2, pp. 77-89. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author presents paths which start from situations of trauma, secret, shame, not elaborated mourning, and may lead to transgenerational heritages within several families. It happens when silence and splitting, used as defense mechanisms, end up creating crypts and phantoms. This paper also presents ideas of intergenerational and transgenerational transmission.

Keywords : crypt; phantom; intergenerational identity; transgenerational identity; trauma.
