Transference
In transference a single effect can be produced
by a number of different elements. In a film many elements are present on the
screen at once. They may reinforce each other, heightening the effect (this
occurs in the conventional cinema Eisenstein deplores); the elements may
conflict among themselves and create a new effect; or an unexpected element may
convey a needed effect. This last is the height of transference. Transference
was first described by Sigmund Freud, who recognized its importance for
psychoanalysis for better understanding of the patient’s feelings. It is common
for people to transfer feelings from their parents to their partners or
children. For instance, one could mistrust somebody who resembles an ex-spouse
in manners, voice, or external appearance; or be overly compliant to someone
who resembles a childhood friend. In
general experience a variety of opposites, that in love and in psychological
growth, the key to success is the ability to endure the tension of the
opposites without abandoning the process, and that this tension allows one to
grow and to transform. In an analysis context, transference refers to redirection of a patient's
feelings for a significant person to the therapist.
