title: Transference patterns of women physicians.
abstract: The focus of the paper is the female physician patient's conflicts in female identification as central to the recovery of optimum energy and creativity. The conflicts are examined as they become salient in the transference reactions to the female therapist. The role of the environment in the potentiation and reinforcement of conflicts is assessed comparatively in older and younger generations of women physicians.
