Multigenerational transmission

Multigenerational transmission refers to the process where patterns of behavior, beliefs, and experiences are passed down from one generation to the next within families. This can include values, coping strategies, emotional responses, and even trauma. For instance, how parents communicate with their children can shape the children’s future relationships. This concept highlights the importance of understanding how family history influences individual development and can impact the well-being of future generations. Recognizing these transmissions can help individuals break negative cycles and promote healthier family dynamics.
