Through a genealogy of negative transference in the clinical course of Ferenczi's work, we studied the management of negative transference beyond its interpretation, which we consider a result of the clinical turnover that allowed Ferenczi to consider the analyst’s implication on the clinic. Ferenczi’s concept of identification with the aggressor creates a link to the problem of submission in psychoanalytic clinics, a central key to the handling of negative transference in borderline cases, thus pointing out the necessity of elasticity in the psychoanalytic technique.
