Is it possible to "inherit" events from our ancestors? How can therapists identify such intergenerational connections? In this book, Anne Ancelin Schützenberger explains her unique psychogenealogical therapy approach and provides relevant clinical examples. The author posits that as individual links in the chain of generations, we do not have control over whether and when events and traumas experienced by our ancestors haunt us throughout our lives. The book includes fascinating case studies and family trees that illustrate how clients have overcome seemingly irrational fears, psychological, and even physical problems by uncovering and understanding the parallels between their own lives and the lives of their ancestors. Schützenberger draws on four decades of experience.
