SILVA, Marina Tente  and  CAROPRESO, Fátima Siqueira. Ferenczi and his Technique: a Fresh Look on Transference. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.3, pp. 1-14. ISSN 1983-8220.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36298/gerais202013e15046.

Transference is a fundamental process for Psychoanalysis. Among the main authors who investigated transferential phenomenon, based on a psychoanalytic viewpoint, the Hungarian psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi stands out. The importance of his contribution, however, still remains unappreciated in psychoanalytic literature. This author demonstrated that standard psychoanalytic treatment often failed to produce the expected effects and that some technical innovation were necessary. This article aims to analyze the concept of transference in the texts of this author, as well as the relationship between his views on transference and the changes in technique introduced by him. At first, we present and discuss the concept of transference and its relationship with the concept of introjection, and then we turn to Ferenczian technical modifications, seeking to point out the implications of these for his conception of the transferential phenomenon.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Sándor Ferenczi; Transference; Introjection; Psychoanalytic techniques.
