ABSTRACT
Psychotherapy, instead, did not aim at fostering this regression, and, to some extent, the dialogue between patient and therapist was supposed to be more reality-orientated, perhaps focusing more on the patient's present life and, implicitly, offering him the support he needed to resolve his problems. The creation of two separate organizations, United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and British Psychoanalytical Council (BPC) to cover the psychodynamic world illustrated the many differences that existed between practitioners. Those psychotherapists who followed more closely the psychoanalytic model eventually adopted the title of psychoanalytic psychotherapist. In a fascinating way, under the influence of new definition of transference, "transference relationship" acquired a different meaning and gradually came to be seen as virtually synonymous with the relationship between patient and therapist. In other words, there was no longer the differentiation between the patient perceiving the therapist as a real individual and experiencing him as the product of the projections of his early objects.
