Michael O’Loughlin,is professor in the School of Education and clinical and research supervisor in the PhD Program in Clinical Psychology at Adelphi University.Marilyn Charles, PhD, is a staff psychologist at the Austen Riggs Center and a psychoanalyst in private practice in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

This book breaks new ground in work on intergenerational transmission of trauma. It not only offers a multitude of ways of understanding how trauma is passed on, but it brings theory compellingly alive by embedding it in a diverse and international array of sociocultural situations. The diversity itself allows readers to appreciate and experience the complex and painful ways that passed-on traumas are lived and communicated to those who bear witness.
