Abstract

Summary Psychoanalytic Individual Psychology and the phenomenon of transference The acceptance of the concept of transference is a constituent aspect of psychoanalytic treatment. The presented work redraws the lines of early development of the concept of transference by Freud and Adler with some digressions to philosophers of that time. The results show explicit references to Freud’s concept of transference in Adler’s early writings as well as in his later theory. Despite the introduction of variations of psychoanalytic terminology by Adler, the application of the psychoanalytical method based on transference continued. References to possible philosophical precursors of the concept of transference – in the sense of the triangulating other – aim to open a psychic field beyond dichotomies and splits.
