Serge Tisseron is a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst known for his work on family secrets and the transmission of trauma across generations. He was born in 1948 and has contributed significantly to the study of how hidden family traumas can affect future generations psychologically. Tisseron gained recognition with his research on the interplay between personal identity and family dynamics, particularly in how unspoken family secrets manifest as psychological disturbances in descendants. His work bridges psychoanalysis, sociology, and family therapy, providing a comprehensive understanding of the psychological impact of suppressed family histories.

In “Secretele de familie – Cum se moștenesc traumele”, Tisseron examines the complex mechanisms by which traumas are passed down from one generation to the next, often unconsciously. His analysis sheds light on the hidden emotional burdens carried by individuals due to unresolved past events within their families. Tisseron’s insights are particularly valuable for psychotherapists and those looking to understand the roots of psychological distress rooted in family dynamics, offering strategies for uncovering and addressing these inherited traumas.
