  • Title: A method for studying the analysis of aspects of the patient's experience of the relationship in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
    Author: Gill MM, Hoffman IZ.
    Journal: J Am Psychoanal Assoc; 1982; 30(1):137-67. PubMed ID: 6084022.
    Abstract:
    We have described a coding scheme for obtaining an objective account of the analysis of resisted aspects of the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist in single, audio-recorded sessions of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. The focus is on what is often regarded as an important first step in the analysis of transference: the identification and exploration of the preconscious points of attachment of transference ideas in the here-and-now. Related to the scheme is the view that there is generally a plausible basis in the here-and-now for the patient's ideas about the therapist. The implications of that view for the concept of transference are discussed. Future directions for research are noted, including improving the reliability of the scheme and testing various hypotheses regarding how the particular step in technique assessed by the method affects other aspects of the process and outcome.
