The unobjectionable part of the transference

M H Stein

    Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Even seemingly cooperative transference aspects can mask unconscious conflicts, hindering psychoanalytic therapy resolution. Analyzing these "unobjectionable components" requires deeper scrutiny, akin to dream analysis, for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalysis

    Background:

    • Transference phenomena can initially appear beneficial to psychoanalytic therapy.
    • However, these aspects can become deeply integrated into the transference neurosis, posing subtle challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the role of seemingly cooperative transference components.
    • To understand how these elements function as resistances, particularly in classical neuroses.
    • To propose methods for analyzing these complex transference dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of transference phenomena within psychoanalytic theory.
    • Analogy drawn to the psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams, specifically secondary revision.
    • Emphasis on historical experience over reductionist explanations.

    Main Results:

    • The "unobjectionable component" of transference, despite its apparent rationality, often masks complex unconscious conflicts.
    • These components act as significant resistances, complicating the resolution of both preoedipal and oedipal conflicts.
    • Their analysis is challenging due to their deceptive cooperative presentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The "unobjectionable component" should be viewed not just as conflict-free, but as a manifestation of intricate unconscious dynamics.
    • Psychoanalytic interpretation, potentially using dream analysis techniques, can facilitate the analysis of these transference aspects.
    • Transference elements are complex results of prolonged experience, requiring in-depth interpretation rather than simplistic reduction.
