TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE IN THE PSYCHOANALYTIC CLINIC

ABSTRACT This work approaches the theme of transference and countertransference in psychoanalytic clinic, in an attempt to clarify how both occur and what mechanisms can be inferred for a better didactic exploration in favor of the therapeutic cure of the neurotic patient. Its scientific relevance lies in the fact that it explores the subject in its most intrinsic dynamics, involving being and non-being and even becoming relevant to therapeutic treatment processes. Its social relevance lies in clarifying to the general population how a psychoanalytic clinical treatment is designed and the dynamics that involve it. It is a bibliographical, factual, exploratory, descriptive research, based on classic authors who discuss the theme from the therapeutic action itself. What a patient transfers during therapy can be trivial, not least because the cathexis energy presented does not mean that everyone has to endure severe pain and complex conditions. As the Master of Vienna himself puts it, the transference is not always negative, meaning that feelings of hatred, rancor or unresolved violence are addressed to the doctor. It is concluded, from the material studied, that transference and countertransference are complex issues, because they involve a range of other aspects, of greater or lesser depth, and what stands out the most is the therapist's condition in knowing the transference dynamics and knowing how to apply the due didactic aspect to them, in view of the patient's interest in being cured of his neurotic disorder
