Abstract

After a brief historical outline, the text deals with the emergence of insights into transgenerational transferences and current understandings of mental trauma and various forms of traumatization. At the center lies the question of psychic mechanisms of unconscious transmission in unprocessed traumas. The author inquires into body language and affective communication, beginning in early childhood, and the importance of scenic memory and understanding of nonverbal messages. Different reactions in descendants of survivors of the Holocaust or torture victims and descendants of perpetrators are also taken into consideration. Finally, some conclusions for clinical practice are presented.
