Description
Summary:This article reviews progress in the theory and technique of work with transference in short-term dynamic psychotherapy (STDP). There has been significant evolution in technique since Freud's original development of the construct. Some of the major challenges to Freud's recommendations regarding transference are highlighted in addition to surveying recommendations made by Malan, Sifneos, Davanloo, and Strupp regarding work with transference in STDP. Based on modern notions of STDP, recommendations for technique are developed. These recommendations are characterized by an emphasis on an active, interpersonal approach to manifestations of transference.
