title: Issues of transference in methadone maintenance treatment.
abstract: Methadone maintenance treatment involves a great deal of governmental regulations and controls which have to be enforced by the clinician, thus having important transferential implications for therapy. This issue is explored on the basis of a case example, and recommendations are made to detach rule enforcement from therapy.
