Area of Science:

  • Psychotherapy Research
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

Background:

  • Transference Work (TW) is a key component of dynamic psychotherapy.
  • Existing scales are needed to analyze in-session effects of therapist techniques.
  • The Transference Work Scale (TWS) was developed to assess relational interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a manual for the Transference Work Scale (TWS).
  • To detail the rating procedure for TWS.
  • To explore the utility of TWS in research and clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • The paper describes TWS items and provides clinical examples.
  • Ratings are illustrated using data from the First Experimental Study of Transference Interpretations (FEST).
  • The manual elaborates on the scoring of therapy session transcripts.

Main Results:

  • Inter-rater agreement for TWS items is good to excellent.
  • The manual details the rating process for TWS.
  • Clinical examples from FEST illustrate the application of TWS.

Conclusions:

  • TWS is a potentially useful tool for examining transference work's impact.
  • It can help predict in-session patient response and treatment outcomes.
  • TWS is suitable for intensive case studies combining quantitative and narrative data.
