Intergenerational trauma
Topic
Intergenerational trauma, also known as transgenerational trauma, refers to the psychological and physiological effects that trauma experienced by one generation has on subsequent generations. It is primarily transmitted through the shared family environment, leading to psychological, behavioral, and social changes in descendants. Research also explores potential biological and epigenetic mechanisms of transmission.
