On Freud's "Observations on Transference Love" (IPA Contemporary Freud: Turning Points & Critical Issues)

Book Overview

The contributors to this volume place in context Freuds evolving thinking; focus on what it tells us about love, female sexuality and conventional morality; discuss the role of the therapist in the genesis of the patients transference love; explore the differences between revering, reliving and enacting; and examine Freuds theory in the light of current developments in psychoanalytic thought. The essays illuminate a persistent problem in all modalities of psychotherapy: unfortunate, often tragic, enactments of erotic transference and countertransference.
