abstract="This article considers the possibility that some delictuous acts or crimes in the family can be unconsciously induced in the author by a member of his family. Several clinical examples are presented including one concerning an adolescent who seriously beat his cousin, resulting in her death. Although the adolescent acted on his own, he also unconsciously repeated the story and the problem configuration of his mother. The principal works concerning the process of inter- and transgenerational transmission of phenomena of maltreatment and of traumatism are recalled. Mutual projective identification seems to be at work. The article ends with a plea for the investigation (court-ordered appraisal) and taking in charge of the family group as a whole, and not only the perpetrator.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
