ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author gives some examples from his graduate students of their experiences in using the transference process in research. Erik Killinger offers a good example of how the work opened into unexpected areas as a result of the transference dialogues. Of his work on the transitioning of clergy from parish ministry, he writes, “his had not expected to be reading theoretical physics in the area of zero-point energy, mathematical papers on toroidal topology, or even papers on metasystem theory.” Before the concludes the chapter, there is one final point to make in reference to the up remark about how the vocational dimension and the processes of reverie and transference dialogues can be used with any approach and with the methods that arise from those approaches. At the end of the chapter, he also makes a few remarks about the dangers of this process and some things a researcher can do to set limits on these dangers.
