The transference in psychotherapy: the old vs. the new, analytic vs. dynamic.
This article takes a look at the concept of transference from several contemporary perspectives. It compares the traditional (or classical) view of transference with a more contemporary view based on the joint creation of the transference. It then discusses the relevance of transference to the dynamically based psychotherapies. From this perspective analytically oriented psychotherapy is contrasted to dynamically oriented psychotherapy.
