The effect of media involvement on transference.
The psychiatric literature contains contrasting opinions about the wisdom of public exposure by a therapist. This issue has become more relevant because of the recent acceptance of advertising and solicitation by professionals. Most of the current discussions focus on political and economic issues rather than the impact on the therapeutic process. This paper describes the effect of media exposure by the therapist on the transference of twenty-eight patients seen in his private practice.
