AZEVEDO, Luciana Jaramillo Caruso de. Child symptom: from trauma to transmission. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.2, pp. 131-142. ISSN 1677-2970.

The present study intends to reflect about the particularities of the infant symptom, among them we can highlight the influence of the trauma and the genealogical constitution. According to the psychoanalytic theory, we highlight the intrinsic relation between the child's symptom and the parental desire and discourse, observing in the children's symptom the opening and presence of remnants of the genealogical contents. The understanding of the child symptom is presented on the basis of the articulation between trauma and psychic transmission. The symptom points to an unconscious choice of the subject and a path to its historicization. The importance of working with parents in conducting the analysis of children, as well as the insightful listening of the analyst to the signifiers that cross generations, is emphasized

Keywords : Child symptom; Trauma; Psychic transmission.
