{"product_id":"on-freuds-observations-on-transference-love-1","title":"On Freud's \"Observations On Transference-Love\"","description":"This is the third volume in the series Contemporary Freud: Turning Points and Critical Issues, published for the International Psychoanalytical Association. Each volume presents a classic essay by Freud with commentaries by prominent psychoanalytic teachers and analysts from different theoretical backgrounds and geographical locations.\"Observations on Transference-Love\" may have been inspired, say the contributors, by the unfortunate emotional involvements of two of Freud's colleagues with female patients. In his paper, Freud speaks of the inevitability of \"transference-love\" in every well-conducted analysis, its important therapeutic functions, and its potential hazards.The contributors to this volume - Ethel Spector Person, Friedrich-Wilhelm Eickhoff, Robert S. Wallerstein, Roy Schafer, Max Hernandez, Betty Joseph, Merton Max Gill, Fidias Cesio, Jorge Canestri, Takeo Doi, and Daniel N. Stern - place in the context of his 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 patient's transference love; explore the differences between remembering, reliving, and enacting; and examine Freud's theory in light of current developments in psychoanalytic thought. Transference love is discussed in the larger context of transference in general. The essays illuminate a persistent problem in all modalities of psychotherapy: unfortunate, often tragic, enactments of erotic transference and countertransference.This volume also includes the original essay by Freud.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002400686424,"sku":"9781782200864","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781782200864_8fdc9af8-794a-439b-a11a-b5a550f9c25c.jpg?v=1768592736","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-freuds-observations-on-transference-love-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
