February 2, 2024 — On Transference and Technique
[25 pages]
In this phase, Freud wrote some of his major technical papers. One of Freud’s most important clinical findings is the phenomenon of transference. It is basic to all psychoanalytic understanding. We will discuss the dynamics of transference and transference love.
Further we will see how, according to Freud, the analyst can understand the patient’s “behavior” within different phases of the treatment and help him or her to make unconscious conflicts conscious.
Learning objective: Participants will be able to describe Freud’s understanding of the positive and negative transference based on the drive model (transfer of libidinal and affectionate or hostile feelings) and to describe Freud’s definition of counter-transference and its management in clinical work.
