ABSTRACT
This work approaches the theme of transference and countertransference
in psychoanalytic clinic, in an attempt to clarify how both occur and what
mechanisms can be inferred for a better didactic exploration in favor of the
therapeutic cure of the neurotic patient. Its scientific relevance lies in the
fact that it explores the subject in its most intrinsic dynamics, involving
being and non-being and even becoming relevant to therapeutic treatment
processes. Its social relevance lies in clarifying to the general population how
a psychoanalytic clinical treatment is designed and the dynamics that involve
it. It is a bibliographical, factual, exploratory, descriptive research, based
on classic authors who discuss the theme from the therapeutic action itself.
What a patient transfers during therapy can be trivial, not least because the
cathexis energy presented does not mean that everyone has to endure severe pain
and complex conditions. As the Master of Vienna himself puts it, the
transference is not always negative, meaning that feelings of hatred, rancor or
unresolved violence are addressed to the doctor. It is concluded, from the
material studied, that transference and countertransference are complex issues,
because they involve a range of other aspects, of greater or lesser depth, and
what stands out the most is the therapist's condition in knowing the
transference dynamics and knowing how to apply the due didactic aspect to them,
in view of the patient's interest in being cured of his neurotic disorder.
