Description - Essential Papers on Transference by Aaron H. Esman

Among Freud's many discoveries, none has proved more theoretically valid or clinically productive than his demonstration that humans regularly and inevitably repeat with the analyst patterns of relationship, fantasy and conflict experienced in their childhood. The transference phenomenon and its analysis in therapy is the cornerstone for much psychoanalytic work, and its crucial importance has been, and continues to be, a matter of debate among psychiatrists today. In this volume, the author presents seminal papers on the subject of transference from Freud's time to our own and deals with its place in psychoanalysis. A range of viewpoints is represented, including neo-Freudian, Kohutian and Lacanian statements. The book emphasizes the fact that transference phenomena have undergone significant changes over the years. Included in the text are writings from Sandor Ferenczi, Freud himself, Anna Freud, Elizabeth Zetzel, Ralph Greenson and Melanie Klein.
