"Using the Transference in Psychotherapy" centers around two dominant themes - the old versus the new models of transference, and the role of transference in psychotherapy. As background information the book provides an historical overview of transference, counter transference, and the therapeutic alliance. A number of detailed cases are provided, graphically demonstrating how transference is addressed in psychotherapy and briefly focusing on projective identification and enactment. This book is a must-read for both students and mental health professionals at the early stages of their careers, and a useful reference for more experienced professionals.
