The importance of transference has been emphasized by psychodynamically oriented clinicians since Freud. This article examines transference phenomena from an information processing perspective, delineates several different aspects of transference experience, and shows how experimental research documents processes involved in transference. It distinguishes between transference as person schemas/...

BACKGROUND/AIM Working alliance, as a collaborative part of the therapeutic relationship has been proven to be one of the most powerful therapeutic factors in psychotherapy in general, regardless many technical differences between numerous psychotherapeutic modalities. On the other hand, transference is the basic concept of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and, according to the psychoanalytic theor...

The development of the theory of transference and countertransference from Freud to post-Freudian authors is described. It is concluded that the concepts of transference and countertransference are pertinent only within a definite psychoanalytic setting. They cannot be applied in every therapeutic situation.

Psychoanalysis, as procedure, theory and therapy, is a unique activity centred around a special approach to a formalised intersubjective relationship. The phenomena of transference and counter-transference between analyst and analysand allow the emergence of a generative interplay between creative impulses struggling for expression and a persistent search for clarity by appropriate analytic int...

We obtain a maximal transference theorem that relates almost everywhere convergence of multilinear Fourier series to boundedness of maximal multilinear operators. We use this and other recent results on transference and multilinear operators to deduce Lp and almost everywhere summability of certain m-linear Fourier series. We formulate conditions for the convergence of multilinear series and we...

Transference and countertransference are important concepts in the therapist-patient relationship in psychiatry. They are also important elements of the courtroom setting and the court interpreter's verbalizations. Transference and countertransference are defined and illustrated in both the psychotherapeutic setting and the courtroom setting with interpreters. The role of the forensic psychiatr...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of transference interpretations (the assumed core active ingredient) in dynamic psychotherapy, using an experimental design. METHOD One hundred patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received dynamic psychotherapy over 1 year, with a moderate level of transference interpretations, while the other group received d...

Analogues of Khintchine’s Theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation in the plane are proved with the classical height replaced by fairly general planar distance functions or equivalently star bodies. Khintchine’s transference principle is discussed for distance functions and a direct proof for the multiplicative version is given. A transference principle is also established for a differ...
