This is the third volume in the series "Contemporary Freud: Turning
Points and Critical Issues," published for the International
Psychoanalytical Association. Each volume presents a classic essay
by Freud with commentaries by prominent psychoanalytic teachers and
analysts from different theoretical backgrounds and geographical
locations. Observations on Transference-Love may have been
inspired, say the contributors, by the unfortunate emotional
involvements of two of Freud's colleagues with female patients. In
his paper, Freud speaks of the inevitability of transference-love
in every well-conducted analysis, its important therapeutic
functions, and its potential hazards.The contributors to this
volume Ethel Spector Person, Friedrich-Wilhelm Eickhoff, Robert S.
Wallerstein, Roy Schafer, Max Hernandez, Betty Joseph, Merton Max
Gill, Fidias Cesio, Jorge Canestri, Takeo Doi, and Daniel N. Stern
place in the context of his evolving thinking: focus on what it
tells us about love, female sexuality, and conventional morality;
discuss the role of the therapist in the genesis of the patient's
transference love; explore the differences between remembering,
reliving, and enacting; and examine Freud's theory in light of
current developments in psychoanalytic thought. Transference love
is discussed in the larger context of transference in general. The
essays illuminate a persistent problem in all modalities of
psychotherapy: unfortunate, often tragic, enactments of erotic
transference and countertransference.This volume also includes the
original essay by Freud."
