Seminar title : Perpetrator Ghosts, Persecutory Objects: the inheritance of history

Seminar description : In the trans-generational transmission of trauma, we have focused on the historic wounds we receive from our forebears. In this seminar, we consider the internalized persecutor ghost that can be transmitted by a victim and/or perpetrator heritage. This seminar explores the splitting, othering, and unconscious mandates for restitution and revenge that we can receive from this figure. We will consider how this ghost manifests in the internal world, in the therapeutic dyad and in politics and culture.
