Transference and counter transference is one of most important aspects of treatment between patient and practitioner. In a clinical setting we do not always have the opportunity to have consecutive treatments with the same patient and as a result may not be able to acknowledge or notice these occurrences. It is not often that I have the opportunity to see a patient on a regular basis or even twice for that matter. As a result, it is not possible for me to notice or recognize any transference that

In Corey (2016) and Psychology Today (2012) defines transference as unconsciously retained feelings and desires from childhood both positive and negative that makes us react towards an object or person from the past. Transference is experiencing those unconscious thoughts or memories from the past to the present. In therapy, the client may experience unconscious positive or negative feelings towards the therapist. These feelings become real to the client and help them understand the problems they
Transference and countertransference can either help or negatively impact a counselling relationship. When working with the effects of trauma in a client’s life, both concepts may occur and need to be understood in order to provide the best possible outcome. In this essay, transference, countertransference, and trauma-informed care will all be discussed, as well as how both concepts are to be understood in relation to trauma-informed care in counselling. Sigmund Freud initially developed the concepts
Transference: Transference is when a client unconsciously projects onto their therapists past feelings, desires, expectation or attitudes they had toward their caregivers or significant people in their lives (Corey & et. al, 2011). Transference can originate from early childhood experiences and memories. The client is viewing the therapist in a distorted way. Instead of seeing the therapist as a professional, the clients see the therapist as a parent, or another significant person in their lives

identify the root of the situation first and delineate how these words come into play during therapy. For example, transference was a word originally created by Sigmund Freud, which was his way of labeling how patients “transfer” feelings from significant individuals in their early lives, onto the therapist.

Transference can either be positive or negative the term includes redirection of feelings and desires towards a project. It is used to refer to beliefs particular romantic feelings to the therapist. This is as a result of being rejected in the past (Knapp 2014). The problem associated with transference is that instead of connecting with a person, their negative feelings and experiences tend to be redirected
The term transference originates from Psychodynamic Therapy where it is defined as a client’s unconscious conflicts that can cause problems in everyday life. It is where the individual transfers feelings and attitudes from a person or situation in the past on to a person or situation in the present and where the process is likely to be, at least to some degree, inappropriate to the present. Although the concept is originally a therapeutic one, it is also used to understand what can happen in any
The generalized positive and negative transference discussed by Weiner and Bornstein (2009) brings up an interesting question as to the origin of generalized transference experiences shared by a majority of therapy clients. If it is not tied to any individual in particular, then the tendency to idealize the therapist followed by the tendency to harbor negative feelings must be related to a shared human experience. For psychoanalytic theory, the most influential shared experiences seem centered around

Finding counterparts such as your experiences with people, place and interactive things in a performance. Personalization can be achieved with this technique and make a great combination of personal experience and imagination.

The concept of unconscious conflicts being responsible for behaviour, continue to underpin the Psychodynamic theory, which led to the development of the transference technique to attempt to bring the unconscious conflicts into the client’s conscious awareness. The transference treatment (Kernberg, 1984) has been strongly supported in terms of its effectiveness and efficacy data, despite Freud’s initial fear of negative feelings amongst clients (Spotnitz, 1985).
