In therapy, why is transference regarded by the therapist as useful and positive turning point in the patients' progress?
In the process of transference, the client unconsciously directs feelings about a particular individual (usually a figure of authority) to the therapist. This allows the expression of emotions that were long left suppressed during the therapeutic session. The feelings that emerge during the process usually stem from the client’s childhood, thereby allowing the therapist to better understand the origins of the client’s current issues, and how precisely the client experienced it at that point of time. This state of high vulnerability can be adequately made use of to facilitate the treatment.
