Is Transference Person-Centred? (starts at 1.40 mins)<\/h2>\n\t

Transference is a phenomenon that you may well have heard Rory mention regularly in podcasts and lectures, but is it relevant to person-centred counselling?<\/p>\n

This is a question that is often asked by counselling students, some of whom have found that their person-centred training does not specifically cover transference.<\/p>\n

Transference<\/strong> describes the situation when someone unconsciously displaces an emotion or attitude from a person in their past to a person in their present.<\/p>\n

Rory gives an example of when one of his students experienced transference towards him, since he reminded her in some ways of her father.<\/p>\n

The concept of transference was originally a psychoanalytic concept, introduced by Sigmund Freud.<\/p>\n

However, as Ken and Rory argue, it is highly relevant to therapy of all types, since it can detract from the building of a sound therapeutic relationship in which each party can see the other’s real self. Carl Rogers did himself speak of attitudes of a transferential nature.<\/p>\n

Rory has written a handout giving you an overview of transference; you can download this here, or access it through the Counselling Study Resource<\/a> (CSR).<\/p>\n\t
