The authors describe a clinical case study of an intergenerational history of abuse and mistreatment. EMDR, integrated with theories on attachment and structural dissociation of the personality, is a useful and flexible therapeutic approach with patients with cumulative or complex traumas. EMDR enhances in such patients mentalization skills, often seriously compromised, and integration.

Keywords: Trauma - dissociation - intergenerational - attachment - E.M.D.R.
