Intergenerational Trauma Transmission in Institutional Care
This topic examines how institutionalized abuse creates cycles of inherited narrative distortion, where survivors adopt the oppressor's logic to maintain internal cohesion.
The study focuses on how identity is fractured by forced compliance, leading to Liar's-Heir-Syndrome (LHS) phenomena where victims become the carriers of a false lineage of 'proper behavior.'
