Main Results:

  • Plato's theories recognized transference as the psyche's creation of a meaningful world.
  • Freud's early transference model is insufficient as it presumes a pre-given world.
  • Neurotic transference is an unconscious attempt to build a personal world (idiopolis).

Conclusions:

  • Transference is fundamentally the psyche's active construction of its reality.
  • Resolution of transference involves the analyst integrating into and understanding the patient's 'idiopolis'.
  • Therapeutic success lies in recognizing and addressing the internal conflicts within this psychic world.
