摘要：In this study we discuss the process of generational transmission of profession in the family. Fifteen individuals were interviewed, from three generations, who had followed the same profession. Participants were from five families – lawyers, doctors, musicians, acting teachers, psychoanalysts. From the content analysis of the interviews the following categories emerged: naturalization of the process of career choice; need for differentiation; the weight attributed to the family name; mythical family figure; freedom of choice in contemporaneity; values transmitted in daily life; loyalty to the love for the profession. In this work the three former categories are presented. We conclude that repetition in the choice of profession in the family is perceived as a naturalized process, highlighting the responsibility in the transmission of the family name associated to the profession, the need for differentiation and for appropriation of the family legacy, while preserving individuality.
