Family is an area of transmission, and the family group creates itself from its inheritance. Whenever a disruption occurs in the filiation, whether it is genealogical or genetic, the transmission is deficient. A family followed in an analytical family therapy will demonstrate the incidence of these deficient transmissions on the family group, in particular with the narcissistic contract and the way the inheritance in negative is taken care of. It will also show how affiliation can fill what is deficient. This clinical example will also study the part played by the family myth and the matrix of the cultural identity of the family to maintain the “us” family group.
