This concept describes the transmission of the emotional process of the nuclear family through multiple generations. Bowen argues that families tend to repeat themselves. So regardless of behavior take different forms, there are issues that tend to repeat from generation to generation, realizing a process of transmission of family patterns.
Multigenerational transmission refers to differences in the level of performance that occur between parents and children, differences at the level of the nuclear family are the product of a multigenerational process. Relational guidelines transmit the information needed on several interconnected levels ranging from the conscious to the unconscious programming of automatic reactive …show more content…

The position in the phratry refers to the functional position of each individual, determined by sex and place of birth and sex of those brothers that follow or precede (Comella, P, 1999). The characteristics of each other position are not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage for themselves but rather are complementary to those of the other brothers. The basic idea of this dimension is that people who grow up in the same position would predictably important characteristics in common.
However, people in the same position may exhibit different characteristics. These exceptions to the rule, in part, be explained by the concept of differentiation. An older child who is the subject of anxious projection of their parents might feel uncomfortable with positions of responsibility and leadership as indecisive and have grown markedly highly reactive to meet the expectations. Consequently, his younger brother could become the largest in functional terms to fill the void in the family system, still being younger in chronological terms. The middle children generally exhibit mixed functional characteristics of both positions, always depending on the relational dynamics of the family in
