ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the management of the transference neurosis in the patient. Davanloo's IS-TDP is about human autonomy and the ability of the individual to meet their potential in life. The patient is given the opportunity to make a choice in her life. Change is available. She can terminate her destructiveness and climb the peak of her potentiality in a proper way. Or, she can continue to hold on to her eternal love of destruction and live the crippled life of her mother and grandmother. It is important to note that the two closed circuit training blocks create the foundation for the treatment of the transference neurosis. These blocks are not the actual treatment of the transference neurosis. The patient needs sufficient structural changes in the unconscious to allow for treatment of the transference neurosis.
