| Résumé: | The consequences of maltreatment may not only be present at an individual level, but they can also be transgenerational. This afterword addresses this question, as a complement to the papers of the present issue, which generally deal with direct consequences of abuse or neglect. Traumas may leave transgenerational traces in the form of memories without remindings. What are the processes involved in engraving these events in the form of “post-memories”? The central hypothesis is closely related to the attachment theory: when a traumatized individual becomes a parent, his/her caregiving competencies may be disrupted by defensive segregation of emotions which, in turn, risks to provoke difficulties for the child to experience a feeling of security with his/her parent. Other hypotheses are also considered, particularly the epigenetic transgenerational transmission of trauma. |
