The author discusses the role of the brother transference in psychoanalytic couple’s therapy. This transference involves reactualization of a triangular relational structure among subject, analyst and partner as double, as well as some form of defense against primitive anxiety about experiencing breakdown. In general, this type of transference predominates in the early stages of couple’s therapy. But when the couple has been based on genocidal trauma, an extreme form of human destruction, traces of the trauma interfere with development of the marital bond. When external reality breaks in, in one generation, the marital bond may not be able to become a libidinal object.In that case, the couple is based on a radical pact of denial, in which each partner must efface traces of his/her prior personal history, as regards his/her genealogical position, in order to recover the unthinkable part of the common social history which came before him/her.
