Sci.","Behavioral Sciences"],"abstract":"<jats:p>The transmission of trauma across generations has traditionally been explained through genetic, epigenetic, familial, and attachment-based mechanisms. While these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain insufficient for explaining the persistence of psychological vulnerability in contexts where the original traumatic event has disappeared but maladaptive patterns continue to emerge across generations. This paper introduces the Contextual Resonance Theory of Psychopathology (CRTP), a novel cognitive\u2013systemic framework proposing that transgenerational trauma is maintained through the recursive reproduction of trauma-shaped environments rather than exclusively through biological inheritance. According to this model, traumatic experiences generate adaptive cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses that become embedded within family narratives, relational structures, institutional practices, and cultural expectations. Over time, these adaptations evolve into self-maintaining contextual systems that continuously communicate threat, unpredictability, and hypervigilance to subsequent generations. The theory introduces the concepts of contextual traumatic inertia, distributed psychopathology, and recursive contextual resonance to explain how vulnerability becomes socially reproduced even in the absence of direct trauma exposure. Drawing on predictive processing, ecological psychology, systems theory, and contemporary trauma research, the paper proposes that psychopathology emerges from persistent interactions between individuals and pathogenic environments rather than solely from intrapsychic dysfunction. Furthermore, a complementary mechanism termed corrective recontextualization is proposed as a pathway for reversing transgenerational vulnerability through repeated exposure to safe, predictable, and psychologically restorative contexts. The framework offers an integrative perspective capable of bridging cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychopathology, trauma studies, and mental health intervention research. Clinical, educational, organizational, and societal implications are discussed, alongside future directions for empirical validation and neurocognitive investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs16081404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T08:05:41Z","timestamp":1786953941000},"page":"1404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Contextual Resonance Theory of Psychopathology: A Cognitive\u2013Systemic Framework for Transgenerational Trauma, Distributed Pathology, and Corrective Recontextualization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Narcisa Carmen","family":"Mladin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVasile Goldis\u201d Western University of Arad, 310025 Arad, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6754-3585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dana","family":"Rad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Research Development and Innovation in Psychology, Faculty of Educational Sciences Psychology and Social Work, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, 310025 Arad, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loredana Ileana","family":"V\u00ee\u0219cu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Tibiscus University of Timisoara, 300223 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Institute of Psychotherapy Psychological Counselling and Clinical Supervision, 300223 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3258-9022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioana Eva","family":"C\u0103dariu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Tibiscus University of Timisoara, 300223 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Institute of Psychotherapy Psychological Counselling and Clinical Supervision, 300223 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radiana","family":"Marcu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Research Development and Innovation in Psychology, Faculty of Educational Sciences Psychology and Social Work, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, 310025 Arad, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7446-046X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Roman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Socio-Humanistic Sciences, University of Oradea, 410087 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gavril","family":"Rad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Research Development and Innovation in Psychology, Faculty of Educational Sciences Psychology and Social Work, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, 310025 Arad, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.psychotherapy.1999.53.2.225","article-title":"Intergenerational transmission of trauma: Recent contributions from the literature of family systems approaches to treatment","volume":"53","author":"Abrams","year":"1999","journal-title":"American Journal of Psychotherapy"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Alexander, J.
