Transference in Psychotherapy: A Microcosm of the Client’s I

About
Transference is a cornerstone of psychodynamic psychotherapy and a crucial element of all therapeutic relationships. Originally conceptualized by Freud as a force that "dominates the whole of each person’s relations to his human environment," transference is now understood as the client’s process of making meaning of interactions with the therapist based on early relational templates. It reflects defensive operations, unmet developmental needs, and unconscious patterns of attachment and emotion regulation.This webinar explores the clinical significance of transference, its various forms and dimensions, and practical methods for recognizing and working with it in therapy. Using clinical examples and a trauma-informed lens, we will consider how transference becomes a live enactment of the client’s psychological world—and a vital entry point for therapeutic change.
