Description
Summary:The most destructive psychological structures are made all that more lethal by their invisibility. This article explores one such structure, transference neurosis. Transference neurosis occurs when an individual is infected by the neurosis of another person, thus altering the normal defense patterns and causing a distortion in the unconscious. The therapeutic journey is charged with the task of addressing the primary injury as well as the foreign structure within the unconscious. The article will utilize the wisdom of Saint Paul, Charles Dickens, Sigmund Freud, Habib Davanloo and a case vignette in an effort to unmask and treat this destructive force.
