ABSTRACT
In the second half of my last lecture I dealt with the origins of the transference phenomenon. I tried to show its connections with the earliest object-relationships, with love, hate, guilt and anxiety, all experienced in connection with one and the same real object, first of all the mother. The conf licts and painful feelings deriving from the mixture of these feelings directed to this one object, which very soon has become an internal object, is an important reason for the fundamental tendency in the individual to externalise some figures and internalise others. In this way he is able to distribute his love, his feelings of guilt, his restrictive tendencies on to some people, and his hate, his dislike, his anxiety on to others, and to find different representatives for his images in the external world, because a constant relief of pressure can thus be obtained.
