Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma through Infant-Parent Interaction: Perspectives from Early Development Research and “Two-Person” Psychoanalysis
This presentation shows how a detailed analysis of the fine details of infant-parent interaction can illuminate the intergenerational transmission of trauma. A video vignette of the interaction of a 3 day old baby with his father , who was himself abused by his own father, will be illuminate moment-to-moment, non-verbal interaction processes through which the father imposes his agonizing internal world on his helpless son. In doing so, the concept of projective identification will be updated to yield a strong psychoanalytic model of psychic life oriented in a theory of internal two-person structures. Other video vignettes will be shown if time permits.
