THE VIOLENCE OF MATERNEL DENI AND ITS EFFECTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF HER FEMINITY FOR GIRLS
In certain family contexts, a daughter who has been victimized can become a violent mother through a non-rescue attitude: the disavowal and blindness of a mother towards her own daughter, repeating the victimization, is for us a specific form of violence, which has an impact on the building of the femininity as much as the mother-daughter relationship. We show it based on Alice’ case, 17 years old, followed in psychotherapy by one of us in a Victim Support Service, with an analysis of the transferential conditions which allowed her to get out of the transgenerational repetition and to question her femininity.
