title: The representation of transference through serial grids: a methodological study.
abstract: During a patient's psychotherapy serial grids were collected so that aspects of 'transference' defined as the interrelationships of dyadic elements such as 'me now with the therapist', 'me with father when I was a child' could be measured. By forming composite grids of the same two elements from each testing occasion, changes could be traced over time. Content analysis of tape-recordings of the sessions showed that changes on the grid measures could be related to the therapist's interventions. The correlations obtained suggest a process of delayed reconceptualization by the subject.
