. “Intergenerational Transfer Process” refers to the transfer of strategies for coping with anxiety-provoking situations and patterns of coping with stress from generation to generation. Symptoms are transmitted from generation to generation
and take shape as they are transmitted; Families experiencing problems are affected by the strength of these
symptoms that previous generations carried and shaped. In marriages, individuals tend to choose individuals
who are close to their level of differentiation. Two undifferentiated individuals seek each other, find each other and become a couple. The dysfunctional family dynamics of the previous
generation are passed from generation to generation with this agreement. Nuclear family emotional system; It is shaped by the marriage agreement. Highly
differentiated partners establish and maintain a system in which they can openly display their identities - accepting responsibility for their own feelings, thoughts, perceptions and actions. In this system there is emotional
closeness, maturity and emotional intensity. At a low level of differentiation, there are difficulties in establishing
intimacy between partners; because they have “pseudo-identities”. Interpersonal ego boundaries
have disappeared, individuality has been lost and a "common self" has been formed.
