ON INTERPRETATION OF TRANSFERENCE

On the basis of a developmental approach, the author emphasises the im portance of the systematic interpretation of the transference in the h ere-and-now. Working through the essential object-related conflicts an d the corresponding motivations when they are affectively intense and can be shown most convictingly to the patient in the analytic session, is - in her mind - the most powerful instrument for the creation of i nsight. Refering to the concept of the past unconscious and the presen t unconscious, she describes the dynamic and structural background of transference interpretations and, finally, illustrates her views by cl inical material from the beginning phase of an analysis.
