Following a short historical overview of the evolution of the concept of transference, the factors involved in this process are examined. The developmental or dynamic aspects of transference, that is, its illusory character defined by the "potential space" within which transference develops, and the importance of the holding environment at the early stages of therapy for an optimal development of transference are discussed. To understand resistances, Merton Gill's distinction of resistances to the awareness of the transference, and resistances to the resolution of the transference are particularly relevant. Finally, the concept of transference neurosis is focused upon. Detailed clinical vignettes are given to illustrate the points made. Although the clinical material is taken from sessions of patients in analysis the theoretical implications pertaining to the transference are equally applicable to the practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. It is in this spirit that throughout the paper the terms "therapeutic" and "analytic" are used interchangeably.

Measures of four dimensions of personality (Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Lie scores) and six aspects of social attitudes (to sex, taxation, militarism, politics, religion and a general conservatism scale) were obtained by mailed questionnaire from 29,691 US subjects including adult twins (n = 14,761) their parents (n = 2360), their spouses (n = 4391), siblings (n = 3184) and adult children (n = 4800). After correction for the average effects of age, sex and source of sample, familial correlations were computed for 80 distinct biological and social relationships. The data allow for the estimation of the additive and non-additive effects of genes, assortative mating, vertical cultural inheritance and other non-parental effects of the shared environment on differences in personality and social attitudes. The interaction of genetic and environmental effects with sex may also be analyzed. Model-fitting analyses show that personality and social attitude measures differ markedly in major features of family resemblance. Additive and dominant genetic effects contribute to differences in both personality and attitudes, but the effects of the family environment, including vertical cultural transmission from parent to child, are much more marked for social attitudes than for personality. There is substantial assortative mating for social attitudes and almost none for personality. The causes of family resemblance depend significantly on sex for almost every variable studied. These findings clarify and extend the more tentative findings derived from previous twin, family and adoption studies.

A good understanding of the psychopathology of old age presupposes the knowledge of adult psychology and the theories of development. It is important to understand well the mechanisms that contributed to build up a personality in one way or an other. Old age is considered as a "stage" with specific tasks. The psychic equilibrium is constantly threatened and as well as adolescence old age must be considered as a period of great vulnerability. To face this danger energetic redistributions must take place. Sexuality and defence mechanisms are analysed by taking in account age-specific aspects. In so far as psychotherapy is concerned we shortly discuss systemic therapies but mainly the technic of supportive psychotherapy.

In the works of Freud, the concept of childhood psychic trauma evolves in the direction of increasing complexity. The authors maintain that this expansion corresponds to a new conception of retroactive temporality (Nachträglich), which is precisely the one we use in the analytic process of reconstruction and historicization from the present toward the past. We are thus led to differentiate the extreme form of the unassimilable 'pure' Trauma, nearly pure death drive, from the retroactively historicized forms which are reintegrated into the continuity of a vital flow of time that we 'invent' in analytic work.

In this paper I have presented a brief outline of some of the more important issues regarding transference. To summarize I shall restate ten transference issues heretofore discussed: What should be included in the definition of transference? Should it be defined narrowly or broadly? In what ways can transference be usefully viewed in relation to reality? What merit is there in distinguishing the working alliance from transference? Should self and object transference be differentiated? Should transference neuroses be discriminated from transference reactions on the one hand and from transference psychoses on the other? In addition to sexual and aggressive transferences, should sexualized and aggressivitized transferences, respectively, be distinguished? How may transference be conceived of as a vehicle of cure and yet also as a resistance to cure? What is to be said for the relative merit of the "here and now" versus the "there and then?" What is the role of transference in relation to insight on the one hand and to the therapeutic object on the other? What are some of the basic issues in countertransference?

Pre-pubertal anorexia nervosa is a challenge to the explanatory powers of the many aetiological theories. This retrospective controlled study specifically compares 20 subjects with pre-pubertal anorexia nervosa to matched post-pubertal anorectic and pre-pubertal neurotic groups. The results show greater pre-morbid feeding problems in the index group and their families; both pre-pubertal groups show more behavioural problems before becoming ill. The illness is very similar in the two anorectic groups; they show comparable levels of sexual anxiety, and self-injury rates (35%) are equal. The implications of these findings for the various theories are discussed.

Some Soviet therapists admit the role of latent (that is, sexual) conflicts and childhood experiences in the origin of emotional disorders. They also attempt to utilize the influence of the social environment in the "readaptation" of neurotics. However, these attempts are limited by certain ideological as well as practical restrictions.

The personality dynamics of homosexuality, psychiatric patient status, and psychological masculinity and femininity were assessed for four groups of 45 male subjects in a full factorial comparison. Results show that homosexuality can be significantly characterized by the Dynamic Personality Inventory independently of psychiatric attendance and that aspects of sex role, considered both normatively and within the sample, are especially effective in that respect. Emphasis is laid on a multidimensional approach to masculinity and femininity. Results are further interpreted with regard to parental relations and the minority status of male homosexuals.
