Extract

The concept of transference, as developed by Freud, arose within the context of the psychoanalytic treatment of neurotic patients. The extension of the techniques of psychoanalysis to a wider range of patients, including psychotics, has led to the introduction of a number of terms to describe special and additional forms of transference. This paper is concerned with aspects of the relationship between patient and doctor which are discussed in the literature under such headings as erotic transference (Saul, 1962), erotized transference (E. Rappaport, 1956; Greenson, 1967), transference psychosis (Rosenfeld, 1952, 1954, 1969; Searles, 1961, 1963; Wallerstein, 1967) and delusional transference (Little, 1958, 1960, 1966; Hammett, 1961).
