Especially noteworthy has been 'the work of Nicolas Abraham and Mária Török on the intergenerational transmission of the phantom' created by trauma. 'Abraham and Török use the word "nescience" to describe the phantom effect. It refers to the gap in knowledge where the trauma resides'. Arguably at least 'the "phantom" represents a radical reorientation of Freudian and post-Freudian theories of psychopathology, since here symptoms do not spring from the individual's own life experiences but from someone else's psychic conflicts, traumas, or secrets'.
