Abstract
This paper examines the therapeutic utilization of various transferenc e reactions to strengthen the interpersonal relationship between hypno therapist and patient. Both positive and negative transference reactio ns will be explored, including idealizations, fear reactions, exaggera ted dependency needs, and wishes for magical cures from the hypnotist. Case examples are presented to demonstrate specific utilization techn iques that can be employed with and without formal uses of hypnosis.
