A dual aspect of the transference.
I discuss the concept of the 'dual aspect' of the transference, by which I mean considering the analyst as simultaneously the receiver of the analysand's projections, and as different from these projections. I use detailed clinical material to illustrate the theme of the paper from a patient who gradually began to understand this dual aspect of the transference after many initial difficulties. I suggest that the difficulties experienced by this patient are common to many patients.
