Family as a part of the social community is a small group inside of a big group. In a time of personal or social crisis the individual person feels vulnerable and unsafe and seeks a secure, protected space where she or he can be herself or himself. Sometimes in personal crisis she or he may doubt that her or his family and their culture is a source of support. Her or his personal crisis then may deepen into an existential question about her or his identity and may ask: “Who am I and where to I belong? What is the sense of my life?” An exploration of personal family and cultural roots can sometimes help a patient reconnect with herself or himself, and reconnect her or his self with the society. A clinical case will illustrate the treatment and the efficacy of exploring the context of family and cultural contexts for the resolution of individual crisis. The presenter would like to share with the participants this existential question of belonging. The presenter is a Physician, Adlerian Psychoanalyst and Group Therapist, and belongs to an international working group called cross-cultural clinical collaboration. She is working with psychosomatic patients with multicultural background and focuses the transgenerational transmission of trauma and sociocultural events.
