Transfer of Authority, Transference of Denial and Interpretation

The concept of transference has gradually become trivialised in both analysts' discourse and everyday language. The relational aspect has been emphasised, leading to an intersubjectivist conception of the analytic relationship. The transference is then understood as an object cathexis. An analysand's use of the analysis and the analyst to the purpose of his dreaming capacities is relegated. The analyst, an ideal processual support, inherits traumatic and perceptual transferences and some transfer of authority. He is ignored as an object and excluded from his patient's intrapsychic primal scenes. This aspect must be taken into consideration in any reflection on the value of silence and interpretation.
