Negative and favorable transfer

Through transfer the unconscious ends up being knotted with the psychotherapist, and it is the battle to totally free ourselves from the ‘bad’ elements of this entanglement while absorbing the ‘great’ elements that produces modification.

As well as the particular circumstances of transfer in the sessions the transfer can be considered as an entire, and as having 2 elements – the favorable and the unfavorable. The favorable transfer is comprised of our great sensations about the therapist, and the unfavorable of tensions. These sets of sensations can be viewed as a replay of the ambivalent sensations all babies have about their moms and dads, who on the one hand make ‘love’ by providing defense and security, and on the other make ‘dislike’ by setting limitations and enforcing limitations.

Neither the unfavorable nor favorable transfer sensations will be suitable to the real individual of the therapist, and due to the fact that of their infantile origins both will be overstated and distorted, maybe tending to idealised images such as the saint and the devil. As we advance in treatment both extremes must lessen in strength and be changed by an understanding of the therapist as a real individual with both bad and great qualities.

The unfavorable transfer is a build-up of all the tensions we experienced in relation to our moms and dads throughout youth, both the method we in fact experienced them, and our phantasies about them. The favorable transfer is a build-up of great sensations, partially memories of the method we in fact experienced them, however, likewise, partially phantasies about how we wanted they had actually been, which is a reflection of exactly what we required from them however didn’t get.

An infant who does not get acceptable parenting matures harbouring a deep yearning for it and a dream that a person day he may satisfy somebody who will supply exactly what he required however never ever got. The dream can develop an idealised phantasy, maybe an angel or a saint, and this can end up being manifest in the favorable transfer.

The degree to which we will understand that both unfavorable and favorable transfer is occurring, and in specific the degree to which we can see that the 2 co-exist as 2 sides of the very same coin will depend upon the nature and severity of our issues.

Both elements of the transfer have to be overcome as we advance to the objective of a fully grown, sensible, adult relationship with the therapist which will allow us to have fully grown, sensible, adult relationships with others. The unfavorable element, the worries that the therapist is devastating and damaging have to be overcome so that we can deepen our rely on them, and the idealised favorable elements have to be overcome so that we can satisfy him/ her as a genuine human.
