ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the effect of the transference neurosis on a patient's unconscious defensive organisation. It describes the link between impairment of the unconscious defensive organisation and brainwashing. In the closed circuit training programme workshops, Dr Davanloo has spoken about how similar the development of the transference neurosis is to brainwashing. With brainwashing, a patient's unconscious defensive organisation becomes damaged. While this statement is an intuitive one, it cannot be overemphasised. An individual who is brainwashing a patient (or a subject) has no respect for the patient's unconscious defensive organisation. On an unconscious level, the patient sees herself as responsible for the transference neurosis. Unconsciously, she let a stranger come between her and her mother and grandmother. It is important to understand the impact of this system on the patient's unconscious. Essentially, the transference neurosis has demanded that the patient keep murdering her mother unconsciously.
