Abstract

In this rejoinder to “Responses to Relational Healing of Early Affect-Confusion: Part 3 of a Case Study Trilogy”, the author defines an Integrative Psychotherapy perspective of transference and addresses the significance of working within a transference-countertransference milieu. Descriptions of how to understand and therapeutically use client’s “idealization” are provided.  The concept of avoidant and disorganized attachment is related to a clinical case.
