The Resistances of Transference

There are certain 'Schools' of psychoanalytic thought that appear to prioritise a concern with the relationship between the one who comes for analysis and the analyst, whilst others propose a resistance to, an avoidance of what are known as 'Transference Interpretations'. This talk will address some of these considerations, eventually closing in on the assertion that "Psychoanalysis is merely a chapter in the history of Trance."
