Generational vein in mourning problematic (case study)

Abstract

Motivation: This paperwork is a case study with a psychoanalytical approach during one year of therapy during which we made some concentric steps in patient life history; the unsolved mourning problem was faced through its collateral implications, not directly.The basic method was free association; the actual results are: “defusing” defense mechanisms,“breakdown” of grief, discovery of screen memories, building a more adaptive life setting. Therapy prognostic is visible; after the mourning effort began, the patient managed to focus her mental energy on her own family's emotional life; generational pathology of multiple deaths in her original family had a negative impact on her husband's and son's relation.
