Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma

  • Format:

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER \n\nPast family trauma can keep us unconsciously connected to the past. It shapes our lives in ways we don’t always recognise, and can keep us from living to our full potential. \n\nIn this transformative book, award-winning psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas draws back the veil on the legacy of intergenerational trauma. Entwining the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades of research, she shows how the people we love and those who raised us live inside us – how we take on their emotional pain – and she helps us identify the links between our life struggles and the ’emotional inheritance’ we all carry. For it is only by following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change our futures.

Galit Atlas is a psychoanalyst and clinical supervisor in Manhattan. She is a faculty member of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis. As an essayist and author, Atlas has published numerous articles and book chapters that focus primarily on gender and sexuality. Atlas served on the board of directors of the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association. She is the recipient of the Andre Francois Research Award and the NADT Research Award.
