This book delves into the intricate realm of psychosocial research, shedding light on the profound intergenerational transmission of memories within families and the societal issues that shape these memories. Through meticulous exploration, the author establishes that the key to understanding these relationships lies in navigating the dynamic interplay between intergenerational and transgenerational processes. This insightful framework leads to the concepts of generational companionship, a multigenerational self, and intergenerational mentalization. Drawing upon sociological and psychoanalytic perspectives, the book offers a comprehensive framework for examining the continuity and discontinuity in individuals' lives and the broader sweep of generations. Moreover, it addresses the role and potential of a psychosocial approach in addressing deep-level problems, encompassing chapters on psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions. A central theme of the book revolves around social imagination and its role in personal and social healing. It also delves into the intricate interplay between creative and destructive forces that shape human existence, providing valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and society. This comprehensive work will serve as an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and professionals in the fields of psychosocial research, psychotherapy, memory studies, history, genealogy, and social theory.
