I was wondering if you people think that Transference in Therapy is always a bad thing. I would say that not always because I think that in some ways it can show that you have real emotions and feelings for your Therapist which I think is a good and healthy thing for the relationship.

I have read where there are therapists who use the transference to good advantage for the client.

I agree that it's not always a bad thing.

I think transference is a normal thing, no such thing as good or bad.

In psychodynamic therapy, it is a good thing because the therapist uses it to learn about the client.
The therapist can also use their countertransference feelings to understand the client. Working through the transference is the goal. CBT focuses less on transference. In fact, I had a CBT tell me the relationship is important, but the transference is not. Alot of people use "transference" here incorrectly ....and I think people use the term psychodynamic therapy incorrectly as well. |

I do not think it is bad! When after three years of therapy and transfer took place, therapy really began for me.

I think it really depends on the individual. I personally think that the relationship is a VITAL part of therapy, regardless of what kind of relationship it is. I think that every relationship is different and there is no right and wrong. Transferance is not a bad thing when it is handled correctly. It can actually be very healing if talked about and learned from. It's when people act on their transferance in innaproriate ways that it becomes a negative thing.

I think it is an inevitable and necessary thing in any good long term therapy. I think it's only bad when it is used against a client by an incompetent or preditorial therapist.
