Abstract

In this commentary, it is argued that analysts' passionately held personal beliefs inevitably shape their theories, and that trauma (avowed or disavowed) plays an outsize role in this process. The question of the intergenerational transmission of models of trauma among like-minded analysts and the impact of these models/beliefs on clinical work is also addressed.
