This video demonstrates how to identify transference and discuss the concept with a patient, in a CASC style format.
Scenario: You are working in a community mental health team. Mr. Lucas “Luke” McAllister, a 35-year-old architect, has been attending weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy for four months. He now reports that therapy seems to worsen his mood and is considering quitting. Please explore his experience of psychotherapy so far, and address any role that transference may be playing.
