| Riassunto: | This article examines the adaptability of the “free realization of the family tree” (LRAg) in the Togolese socio-cultural context. As a projective tool, the LRAg is particularly relevant in a culture where family and community ties play a fundamental role in structuring subjectivity and identity. This projective mediation makes it possible to make the conscious and unconscious processes of psychic transmission tangible.The objective of this research is to understand how the LRAg materializes through the graphic act certain psychological dynamics, both individual and group, while revealing the cultural specificities of transmission in Togo. Sixty family trees were collected as part of a clinical practice and inductive research in grounded theory, from a population of the same generation residing in Lomé, divided into two groups: a clinical group and a control group.The qualitative analysis of these graphic productions made it possible to identify clinical and graphic indicators specific to the lineage and matrimonial particularities of Togolese culture. The results highlight areas of psychological conflict at intrapsychic, intergenerational and transgenerational levels. The themes of identity, filiation, affiliation and rivalries between lineage and descent appear frequently. Furthermore, genealogical representations are part of a traditional modern continuum, revealing different socio-psychic tensions. Affiliation to a modern model favors the appropriation of heritage and subjectivation, while in the traditional model, subjectivity remains subordinate to psychological groupality. |
