Transference-Countertransference and Other Related Mental States

In Recent Decades An Increasing Number Of Psycho-Analytic Investigators Have Tried To Fathom The Nature And Origin Of The Transference-Countertransference - From Within.

For The Pioneer, These Endeavours Are Heroic And It Is Little Wonder That Few Psychiatrists Have Ventured Into These Realms.
