This study aimed to understand the role of intergenerational psychic transmission in the articulation of anorexic symptoms in a young woman in treatment. Three generations of women of the same family were interviewed: mater - nal grandmother, mother and daughter, all diagnosed with AN. Some psychic contents that could not be elaborated were identified in the reports and these were, subsequently, converted into legacies transmitted to later generations. Feelings of inhibition and shame regarding sexuality and the female body, transmitted from grandmother to mother and from mother to granddaughter, seem to have blocked the emotional development in all generations. Incorporating these findings into treat - ment may facilitate the processing of the transmitted unconscious contents, contributing to the reorganization of the family’s psychodynamic functioning. 2016 artículo científico 1413-8271 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401048911017 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4010 Psico-USF application/pdf Universidade São Francisco Psico-USF (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.21 |
