ABSTRACT
In this chapter we discuss the impact of transgenerational trauma on the following generations; their relationship to the world; the peculiarities of their perception of time and space, and reality; the characteristics of remembering, mourning, and narrative; the role of fantasy; the special features of mirroring and containing; and the special features of their relationships. Thus, we discuss the same issues as in the case of the first generation to experience the trauma, focusing on how the parents’ attitude and relationship to the world is mapped out in the children, how it affects the development of their personality and their relationships.
