What appears to be a person's symptom may turn out to be a symbol - in the context of this book, a symbol of an unconscious mission - to repair a parent or avenge a humiliation - assigned by the preceding generation. These tasks may be more or less idiosyncratic to a given family, suffering its own personal trauma, or collective in response to societal trauma. This book attempts to address this heritage of trauma - the way that the truly traumatic, that which cannot be contained by one generation, necessarily and largely unconsciously plays itself out through the next generation - and to do so both from clinical and societal perspectives.Psychic traumaPsychology, PathologicalPsychic trauma.Psychology, Pathological.616.85616.85/21616.8521Fromm Gerard848613MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955081603321Lost in transmission4487647UNINA
