The aim of our research is to highlight the role of social representations of the traumatic brain-injured person in the adjustments made by caregivers in building and maintaining quality of care. Twenty-three semi-structured interviews were conducted with nursing assistants and medico-psychological assistants, working in a long-term care facility. The interviews were the subject of a thematic content analysis. The analysis shows the role of representations of the traumatic brain-injured person in the way caregivers explain behaviours and situations and in the orientation of their professional practices. In explaining the inexplicable, caregivers establish a more human relationship through individualized care.

This article explores the concept of transgenerational trauma. I draw from two distinct archives to approach the "transgenerational" in a more nuanced manner - one that moves beyond a linear past-to-present trajectory. The first of these is the Freudian archive, where I revisit the concept of to shed light on the temporal dynamics between past and present, particularly in the affective responses of young black students during interactions with their white peers.
