“…Transference is the experiencing of feelings, drives, attitudes, fantasies, and defenses toward a person in the present which do not befit that person but are a repetition of reactions originating in regard to significant persons of early childhood unconsciously displaced onto figures in the present. (p. 155) We argue, along with others in the literature, that transference can appear not only through repetition but also (a) projection, (b) displacement, and (c) enactments, which can occur unconsciously (Frosch, 2002;Grant & Crawley, 2002b;Sandler, Dare, & Holder, 1992b;Schaeffer, 2007b). This article adopts Gabbard's (1995Gabbard's ( /2005 conception of countertransference as "entailing a jointly created reaction in the clinician that stems in part from contributions of the clinician's past and in part from feelings induced by the patient's behavior" p. 21).…”

Treatment can be powerfully informed by the exploration of psychodynamic concepts. Yet, many graduate social work programs struggle to adequately examine these ideas. Psychodynamic practice has transformed from a framework of long-term private practice, which requires multiple sessions a week, to a contemporary framework that can integrate into any modality, frequency, setting, and length of treatment. Literature on the psychodynamic approach has not been effectively incorporated into most current graduate programs. This article addresses this gap in social work education by advocating for graduate-school coursework focusing on-at a minimum-the concepts of (a) the unconscious, (b) transference, and (c) countertransference. In the following pages, we offer a synopsis of current graduate-level coursework, and an examination of psychodynamic thinking, including its base of evidence and value in contemporary treatment. This article explores an integrative approach to training and practice. We argue that understanding these fundamental psychodynamic concepts creates a more nuanced, deeper, and impactful treatment and that training in this area is beneficial to all social workers.
