This event will focus on ideas from Atlas’ new book Emotional Inheritance. It will address silenced experiences that belong not only to us or to our patients, but to their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, and the ways they impact our lives. The clinical tales will focus on emotional material that is passed down from generation to generation. It will discuss intergenerational trauma, the regulation of aggression, the power of attachment and the many faces of our emotional inheritance. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending the program in its entirety, attendees will be able to:
  1. Define inherited trauma.
  2. Explain the term Erotic Reparation.
  3. Explain the relation between reparation and repetition.
  4. Identify the analyst’s dissociation as a defense against family trauma.
