Phylogeny in psychoanalysis is the study of the whole family or species of an organism in order to better understand the pre-history of it.[1] It might have an unconscious influence on a patient, according to Sigmund Freud. After the possibilities of ontogeny, which is the development of the whole organism viewed from the light of occurrences during the course of its life,[2] have been exhausted, phylogeny might shed more light on the pre-history of an organism.

The term phylogeny derives from the Greek terms phyle (φυλή) and phylon (φῦλον), denoting “tribe” and “race”;[3] and the term genetikos (γενετικός), denoting “relative to birth”, from genesis (γένεσις) “origin” and “birth”.[4] Phylogenetics (/ËŒfaɪloÊŠdʒɪˈnÉ›tɪks, -lÉ™-/[5][6]) is the study of evolutionary relatedness among groups of organisms (e.g. speciespopulations), In biology this is discovered through molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices (phylogenetics), while in psychoanalysis this is discovered by analysis of the memories of a patient and the relatives.

Ontogeny in a psychoanalytical context is the development of the whole organism, viewed from the light of occurrences during the life, not in the last place in the pre-history of early childhood, which has become unconscious,[1] according to Sigmund Freud. After the possibilities of ontogenesis have been exhausted, phylogenesis might be explanatory of the development of a neurosis.[2]

Frantz Fanon, a Martinician writer and analyst whose work focused on the pathologies and neuroses produced through European colonialism, adapted Freud's concept of ontogeny. Fanon developed the concepts of sociogeny and sociogenesis to explain how socially produced phenomena, such as poverty or crime, are linked to certain groups as if those groups were biologically - or ontogenetically - predisposed towards those phenomena. The conflation of sociogeny and ontogeny, Fanon argued, plays an important role in the social construction of race.[3][4][5]
