Essential Papers on Transference Analysis

Transference, which can be a powerful therapeutic tool, is reviewed here. This volume is a collection of articles that link the present with the past, transference encompasses the most empirical aspect of psycho dynamic therapy and represents one of Freud's greatest contributions. Dr. Gregory Bauer selects important papers in the field and provides an introduction to each paper that concisely states the contribution and guides to the papers that follow, and the papers themselves are clearly the thinking on working with the here-and-now aspects of transference over the years. The book is useful and informative to novices in psychoanalytic and dynamic psychotherapy as well as to the seasoned clinician. The contributors highlight the importance of therapist resistance to the transference process.
