The aim of this theoretical study is to reflect on the markers of psychic transmission in Clarice Lispector's short story “Os laços de família”, originally published in 1960. The interpretation took place from Winnicottian psychoanalysis in dialogue with the psychoanalysis of social bonds. Psychic transmission emerges as a possibility to understand the relationship between the protagonist, her mother and her child, highlighting aspects not only of what is unconsciously transmitted, but of the transmission of psychic illness and the difficulty in establishing bonds. Transmission is a path that cannot be refused. Catarina’s character’s power resides in the attempt to share, with her son, what had been compromised in her history since her first relationships, recapturing important environmental failures and towards family resilience.
