世代間伝達に関する精神分析学的考察

Abstract

Mothers who possess difficulties or concerns regarding ambiguous anxieties, caused by the annoyance of childrearing, cannot control themselves. It seems that the mothers' own and their family's unsolved problems lurk in such anxieties. Their problems forced their children to bear the burden of intergenerational transmission, and the children expressed it with their symptoms and behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to abstract from and review the most academically outstanding research papers on intergenerational transmission from the psychoanalytic perspectives and to clarify the method for future work. In this paper, the definition of intergenerational transmission is that a parent's unsolved problems between his or her own parent and him or her are transmitted in a way that he or she is annoyed by the problems and he or she has some difficulties to rear his or her children. First, the paper is reviewed by all the four themes related to intergenerational transmission. Second, based on the review above, the clinical case of the mother, annoyed by her six-year-old daughter, is presented and consideration from the viewpoint of intergenerational transmission is attempted. Finally, how future work should be conducted is indicated and that the clinical cases the author experienced should also be considered from the Jungian perspectives.
