This article is a review of the literature on intergenerational transmission of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from fathers to sons in families of war veterans. The review addresses several questions: (1) Which fathers have a greater tendency to transmit their distress to their offspring? (2) What is transmitted from father to child? (3) How is the distress transmitted and through which mechanisms? And finally, (4) Which children are more vulnerable to the transmission of PTSD distress in the family? Whereas the existing literature deals mainly with fathers' PTSD as a risk for increased emotional and behavior problems among the children, this review also highlights the current paucity of knowledge regarding family members and extrafamilial systems that may contribute to intergenerational transmission of PTSD or to its moderation. Little is also known about resilience and strengths that may mitigate or prevent the risk of intergenerational transmission of trauma.
本文是一篇关于退伍军人家庭中创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）从父亲向儿子代际传递的文献综述。该综述探讨了几个问题：（1）哪些父亲更倾向于将他们的痛苦传递给后代？（2）父亲传给孩子的是什么？（3）痛苦是如何传递的，通过哪些机制？最后，（4）哪些孩子在家庭中更容易受到PTSD痛苦传递的影响？尽管现有文献主要将父亲的PTSD视为儿童情绪和行为问题增加的一个风险因素，但本综述也强调了目前对于可能促成PTSD代际传递或对其起到调节作用的家庭成员和家庭外系统的了解不足。对于可能减轻或预防创伤代际传递风险的复原力和优势也知之甚少。
