Paper Summary:

This paper explores transference love and attempts to discover whether or not this is genuine love or merely a by-product of the analytic environment and the close encounters between the psychologist and the patient. The paper then goes on to review the contesting views about relationships between analysts and their patients and points out the principle moral hazards in counter-transference.

From the Paper:

"However, in understanding Freud we must take into account his usually-negative reaction to those that would rather throw themselves at him than listen to reason. Freud's understanding of transference seems to be underscored by guilt as it often provokes his intense frustration. This contrasts markedly with many modern psychoanalysts, who take on a more empathetic view of transference."
