L Goldberg

    The International Journal of Psycho-Analysis
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    In psychotic states, transference involves the therapist's body, creating emotional experiences. These experiences, termed countertransference, represent early object relationships and influence interpretation during therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychoanalysis
    • Psychotherapy

    Background:

    • Psychotic states present unique transference dynamics.
    • Understanding countertransference is crucial for therapeutic efficacy.

    Observation:

    • Transference in psychotic states is directed towards the therapist's physical being.
    • This creates distinct emotional responses in the therapist.

    Findings:

    • The therapist's emotional experience (countertransference) reflects early object relationships.
    • Verbal interpretation, an elaboration of transference, should be viewed as countertransference.

    Implications:

    • Rethinking the concept of countertransference in treating psychotic patients.
    • Adapting interpretive techniques to address complex transference dynamics.
