This essay argues that in the conspicuous absence of psychological studies examining the intergenerational transmission of a specific form of trauma experienced by “comfort women’ during World War II, Nora Okja Keller provides two compelling psychological portraits in her rendering of a fraught mother-daughter relationship in her novel Comfort Woman. It is always a challenging task to navigate multiple disciplines in a single study and here it is worth clarifying for readers that my essay is meant to be read primarily as a piece of literary criticism that uses resources from the field of psychology and especially the study of trauma
