[Subjective transference]

Based on very different clinical examples showing a same reversal in the way of understanding and handling counter-transference phenomena, as much individual as collective, and carried out in a therapeutic approach in a institution for psychotic teenagers, the author--placing the metapsychological implication firmly within these phenomena--, gives credence to the existence of primary narcissistic transfers that he suggests calling subjective in order to distinguish them from objective and transitional transfers.
