Transference neurosis is a term that Sigmund Freud introduced in 1914 to describe a new form of the analysand’s infantile neurosis that develops during the psychoanalytic process.〔(Etchegoyen, 1991)〕 Based on Dora’s case history, Freud suggested that during therapy the creation of new symptoms stops, but new versions of the patient’s fantasies and impulses are generated. He called these newer versions “transferences” and characterized them as the substitution of the physician for a person from the patient's past. According to Freud's description: “a whole series of psychological experiences are revived not as belonging to the past, but as applying to the person of the physician at the present moment.” 〔Freud, 1977〕 When transference neurosis develops, the relationship with the therapist becomes the most important one for the patient, who directs strong infantile feelings and conflicts towards the therapist, e.g. the patient may react as if the analyst is his/her father.〔Chessick, 2002〕 ==Basic characteristics== Transference neurosis can be distinguished from other kinds of transference because: # It is very vivid and it rekindles the infantile neurosis. # It is generated by the feelings of frustration that the analysand inevitably experiences during sessions, since the analyst does not fulfill the analysand’s longings. # In transference neurosis the symptoms are not stable, but they are transformed. # Regression and repetition play a key role in the creation of transference neurosis. # Transference neurosis reveals the particular meanings that the analysand has given to current infantile relationships and events, which generate internal conflicts between wishes and particular defenses formed to strive against them. These meanings are united and create several transference patterns.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transference neurosis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
