Lost in Transmission: Studies of Trauma Across Generations (M. Gerard Fromm, Karnac Books, 2012; Routledge, 2018)
Lost in Transmission is not simply about how traumatic psychological injury is passed down to the children and grandchildren of those who originally experienced it. Even more, the insightful and personal essays in this collection are about finding the shared humanity in families, in psychotherapy, in society, and in memories of the past that repairs the damage people do to one another. A moving and inspiring book."--Thomas A. Kohut, Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III Professor of History (amazon) (kindle 2019-12-24) (refund 2019-12-24)
