development as well as free play being a focus of interpretation. concepts of transference, countertransference, working alliance and negative therapeutic reaction. Since Freud, multiple psychoanalytic paradigms have developed, including Kleinian psychology and self-psychology. While Freud emphasised an energy discharge point of view within a natural science framework, more recent work has also...

Interest in linking psychoanalysis with scientific psychology waxes and wanes. In part, the difficulties have been caused by the preference of psychoanalysts for Freud's clinical theory (and its emphasis on narrative truth) as opposed to his metapsychology (with its requirement for historical truth). Even though contemporary scientific psychology evolved largely independently of psychoanalysis,...

Recent decades have witnessed an extraordinary amount of conceptual and empirical work on attachment theory in psychology and psychotherapy. Attachment theory is discussed in the present article as a way of understanding and fostering therapeutic work with 2 other key relationship constructs that have been theorized to be elements of all psychotherapies: client transference and the real relatio...

This research investigated how working models of attachment are carried forward from one relationship to the next. A two-part study was conducted in which participants learned about two potential dating partners: one that was constructed to resemble a romantic partner from their past and one that resembled a partner from another participant’s past. Results showed that people applied their attac...

As rapport is an overworked word with counselors, so is transference among psychotherapists. Indeed, the indiscriminate use of these terms has led to their being considered to be, to some extent at least, synonymous. In this indiscriminate use of the term, transference is applied to the total relationship between the therapist and client. This total relationship is, however, sometimes referred ...

In September 2007, the Mexican Congress approved a fiscal rule to transfer the federal funds to cover the educational costs of the states. The formula contains a historical basis, meaning that it guarantees every year each state will receive the same amount that it received in the previous year. However, in case the resources approved in the federal budget exceed that of the previous year, then...

Transference is a key concept in psychoanalysis, distinguishing the analytic technique from other forms of psychotherapy. In this essay, we place transference into the context of a general psychology of human functioning and link it to the neurobiology of perception. Despite the centrality of transference in psychoanalysis, the concept remains poorly defined and has been discussed in terms of m...

For a family of weight functions invariant under a finite reflection group, we show how weighted Lp multiplier theorems for Dunkl transform on the Euclidean space Rd can be transferred from the corresponding results for hharmonic expansions on the unit sphere Sd of Rd+1. The result is then applied to establish a Hörmander type multiplier theorem for the Dunkl transform and to show the convergen...
