The Uninvited Guest from the Unremembered Past - An Exploration of the Unconscious Transmission of Trauma Across the Generations (Paperback)

Freud wrote to Binswanger on the anniversary of his daughter s death, we will remain inconsolable I don t care for my grandchildren anymore, but find no joy in life anymore. The author poses the question in this book; what legacy does grief, loss, trauma have upon the second and third generations? When Freud wrote I don t care for my grandchildren anymore, what impact did his agonized grief have upon them? Prophecy Coles has written this meditation on the ideas that have evolved in response to this question over her thirty years as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Her central thesis is that we must not ignore, in our psychoanalytic practice, the impact of our ancestral history, especially if our ancestors have suffered, for their anguish can return and haunt us. It is the anguished return of traumatic experience that repeats itself across the generations and affects the way the next generation is perceived."
