Abstract

The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 55, No. 3, 1995 • For Mario Rendon, the concept of transference splays forth variously and ambiguously. Transference is problematized in its being both metaphor and metonymy, displacement and condensation, resistance and instrument of therapeutic effectiveness, conjecture and distortion; as hermeneutic and compassionate, genetic and here-and-now, and "broad" and "narrow." Rendon sketches the contributions to the ambiguity of transference, con- sidering Ferenczi, Sullivan, Homey, Klein, and later pioneers. With the shift in recent decades in curative focus from ego enhancement to self- realization through relationship, there has been a corresponding shift from emphasis on the transference to the transference-countertransference am- algam-enriching the concept of transference still further. In Rendon's view, the Piagetian model of cognition lends still further texture to our comprehension of transference. Yet it is in Lacan's linguistic perspective, with its explicit foundation in Hegel, that Rendon locates the most likely thread unifying the many perspectives on transference: the need of the patient for recognition.
