ABSTRACT
All of Ferenczi’s conceptual advances today form part of the theoretical and clinical tools available to the analyst today for his reflections and daily work. They were established in the light of his experience doing treatment because he was trying to identify as closely as possible the most appropriate countertransference responses and techniques for overcoming the transference impasses encountered in the treatments of difficult situations regarded as being “at the limits” of the analysable or of what is treatable in psychoanalysis.
