Transference

University - Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development Abstract Since I have started interning just a couple of weeks back, I have taken the movie “A Dangerous Method” by David Cronenberg to use my class readings – Transference and Countertransference which helped me understand the movie better from a psychoanalytical perspective. A Dangerous Method – Gist of the story In 1904 a Russian woman named Sabin Spielrein arrives at Carl Jung 's clinic, seeking treatment for hysteria. Jung is eager to test Sigmund Freud 's theories on Sabin and, in fact, successfully treats her. Two years later Jung and Sabin meet Freud in person, and Jung takes over the treatment of Otto Gross, whose influence leads Jung to begin an affair with Sabin, contributing to a rift with Freud. Background of the story There are several specific techniques displayed in the film that do really do show ideas originally developed by Freud and his direct followers. First, in the film Jung refers to “the talking cure,” a term referring to the general techniques that Freud developed. At the time (the early 1900s), what we think of as this traditional form of therapy wasn’t traditional at all, and it was Freud who really expanded the role of simply…

The Therapist: Transference and Transparency The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy Therapy is a book written by ( Yalom D. Irving) it serves as a guideline on how to conduct group therapy. Therapy is an element of care that brings about change, however it is critical to note change would never occur without the exchanges that take place between the therapist and the client.

In CBT, “Transference. The therapist should pay attention to negative or positive reactions towards him/her but should not deliberately provoke or ignore them. He or she should be vigilant for signs of strong negative emotions such as a disappointment, anger and frustration experienced in the therapeutic relationship by the patient. These reactions open space for understanding the patients past and actual relations outside the therapy” (Prasko, Diveky, Grambal, Kamaradova, Mozny, Sigmundova,…

Freud’s third paper on the technique of psychoanalysis deals with the issue of love in the analytic situation. The paper deals with the transference of love, its hindrance to recovery, how it needs to be dealt with, and eventually transformed and used towards the healing process. The occurrence of falling in love is explored from a practical and theoretical position. When the client falls in deep love with the analyst, the analyst is faced with a specific set of challenges. Should he a) end…

assignment in Psychology 1300, the topic of transference will be discussed. In order to accomplish this these are the topics that will be examined: the definition of transference, why transference is a social problem, how are people affected by transference, how the government is trying to address the issue of transference, and finally what can be done to make a positive outcome with the problems with transference. Transference and countertransference: According to Farlexs’ Medical dictionary…

While reflecting over this meeting, I think some very good points surrounding supervision, competencies, and self-awareness was discussed. Countertransference does not just have to be about traumatic experiences the counsellor has endured, but rather any positive or negative thoughts or emotions and/or biased expressions that occur due to the recitation of the client’s story (Briere & Scott, 2015). I also think that supervision is a key component in all counselling, as it is hard to be…

Introduction In the following paper, I will explore the topic of counter transference. The material that I feel is most relevant is the reading by Goldstein, “transference and counter transference”. I feel that deconstructing some of our beliefs, values, and attachment mechanisms will benefit the client so I can be able to self-scrutinize what baggage I bring to the client-therapist didactic. It also provides an interesting case that I can reflect and see myself in. This later helps transfer…

lead me to this career choice. We will explore how being on both sides of addiction can lead to transference and countertransference and how their patterns can lead to murky relationship boundaries. Becoming a treatment counselor was not something I wanted to do when I grew up, in fact I was against it and laughed at those who were going to school to become one. I laughed at them while I smoked my pipe from the sidelines. That all changed the day my brother died of a heroin overdose. He was…

As described in our reading counter-transference is the experience the strong feelings a counselor feels toward a client (Brammer, 2012). These feelings can be unresolved issues the counselor my have. When I first began at my practicum I cam across a client that reminded me of my daughter. She had similar hand gestures and came in one time with a purse identical to one of my daughter’s purses. I compared them and had a challenging time working with this client. She was my only client at the…

Transference is a redirection of a client's feelings from a particular person to the therapist. Transference can be seen in forms such as hatred or putting the therapist in a god-like category. When Freud first encountered transference, he thought it was an obstacle to the treatment of the client. Instead he learned was that the transference was the work that needed to be done. An example would be if a client experienced a traumatic event in their childhood with a male figure. The client would…
