Transgen roots are - Psychoanalytic - intrapsychic
What is transmitted across generations? - Unresolved conflicts, beliefs, and roles
Couples interact based on - FOO influence - each partner's internalized unconscious needs, longings, and
fantasies
Symptoms develop when - The transgenerational phenomena remain unconscious
Treatment relies on - Insight - making the unconscious conscious
Best way to treat the symptomatic child is to - Treat the parents
Treatments tend to last - Longer than other family models - 2 years-ish
Some transgen therapists bring in more than one generation or have the couple talk to heir families -
Others may simply talk abt their FOO relationships
Transgen models differ from psychoanalytic approaches in that - Like other Gamily therapy models they
see symptoms resulting from patterns across generations rather than from one event
