The impact of intergenerational transmissions of trauma and the dissociative states of mind that cross from parents to their children have become an important expansion of psychoanalytic theory. Clinical material will be discussed showing how an early death of a mother haunted the lives of many generations of mothers and daughters. Considerations of attachment rupture, trauma, envy, deadly and deadening aggression and shame are discussed as part of transgenerational transmission phenomena and in terms of how they are worked on in the analytic relationship. Envious attacks, though painful to tolerate, nonetheless need to be processed in order to transform transmissions from the past.
