Since Freud's initial papers on transference and
countertransference, these vast and inexhaustible subjects have
occupied psychoanalysts. Transference and countertransference, the
essence of the patient/analyst relationship, are concepts so
central to psychoanalysis that, to our minds, they transcend
theoretical orientation and, thus, can be seen as the unifying
focus of psychoanalysis. However differently theoretical traditions
conceptualize the transference, or disagree as to when and how to
interpret it in our everyday analytic work, we all embrace the
phenomena as vital to psychic change.The ten contributors to this
book describe work involving the transference and
countertransference, with links frequently made between such work
and psychic change. These are accounts of the analyst at work,
detailed clinical accounts of what can be considered to be the
bread and salt of psychoanalysis, set within a theoretical
framework. The theoretical viewpoints put forth are varied,
encompassing Kleinian, Independent, and Contemporary Freudian
theoretical orientations, and, as such, represent the varied
orientations of the members of the British Psychoanalytic
Association.The psychoanalytic relationship is examined, in its
positive and negative aspects. This includes fine-grained
observations and interpretations as well as broader views of the
emotional relationship with the analyst, with many clinical
illustrations. The psychoanalytic practitioner, as well as the
specialist reader, will find the studies of transference work in
this book helpful in understanding the factors leading toward
psychic change and the working-through of unconscious emotional
dilemmas.Contributors: Jean Arundale, Debbie Bandler Bellman, Ruth
Berkowitz, Sara Collins, Irene Freeden, Michael Halton, Jan
Harvie-Clark, Viqui Rosenberg, Philip Roys and Jessica Sacret
Hering.
