- in psychoanalysis, the intense affective relationship between
the client and the therapist, which to some extent recreates an attitude lived
out during childhood: transference neurosis is the main force behind
cure. In Gestalt, many spontaneous tranferential phenomena can, of
course, be found. These are explored as they occur. The therapist
does
not artificially develop transference neurosis which creates a dependence
on the therapist.*
