Abstract

The author offers a reflection around the possible interrelationship between the concepts of “Transference”” as conceived by C.G.Jung and Analytical Psychology and that of “Empathy”, coming from Client Centered Therapy of Carl Rogers, especially in their application in psychotherapeutic processes. The psychotherapeutic relationship can include elements from these two perspectives, that can be considered no as opposed, but as complementary. The emphasis in the consideration of the unconscious aspects of this relationship implies necessarily and concomitantly a context in which emphatic understanding is operating. In order to illustrate this possible confluence of both approaches, three basic attitudes of the psychotherapist with regards to Transference as conceived by Analytical Psychology are stressed, alongside the three basic attitudes that should be present in the therapist according to Rogers.
