Abstract

The text studies transgenerationality with a focus on intrafamily sexual abuse committed by adolescents during a group intervention. It is qualitative research, in a clinical context, and the information was constructed through the Genogram. The participants were 4 families, with adolescents aged 16 and 17 years, aiming to point out the complexity of sexual abuse with an imminent age in reaching the age of majority. Contributions to the study of transgenerationality are based on an understanding of family justice, loyalty, and the delegation of family values. The short life histories of these adolescents repeat the family life histories that contain a state of permanent stress, having an unstable family structure, affective and social relationships based on conflicts, the presence of ruptures of relationships and affections. The sample is justified by the choice of instrument. The focus on transgenerationality offers a better understanding of the phenomenon of intrafamily sexual violence and adolescent perpetrators in this age group.
