The Therapeutic Relationship

In The Therapeutic Relationship Wiener makes a central distinction between working "in" the transference and working "with" the transference, advocating a flexible approach that takes account of the different kinds of attachment patients can make to their therapists. She developes her own concept of the transference matrix, a model that honors one of Jung's core beliefs in the development of a symbolic capacity as an essential that a capacity to symbolize can only emerge through relationship.
