Abstract

LIMA, Michael Henrique de Souza  and  FACHINI, Alexandre. Transference and resistance in an interrupted psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Aletheia [online]. 2016, vol.49, n.2, pp.38-46. ISSN 1413-0394.

The various forms of known transfers are described as (unconscious) strategies that mask the subject's internal contents. When they appear in the session, through transference, it is up to the therapist to find the way to understand it and to manage it for the benefit of the patient-psychotherapist relationship. The objective of this study was to describe, according to the experience of an interrupted psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy, aspects relevant to the role of transference and its consequences. The transfer clearly showed the repetition, in the therapeutic relationship, of empty relations and previous abandonment of the patient. The patient's resistance in accessing such unconscious and conflicting contents was also perceived. Experience has made clear the importance of transference and resistance in psychotherapy, and if both are well managed by the therapist, they can serve as a tool capable of leading the patient in the path of their latent contents.

Keywords : Transference; Resistance; Psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
