Abstract

I find Dr. Moreno's contrast between tele and transference to be quite stimulating and congruent with my own approach to the interpretation of psychotherapeutic phenomena. I would like particularly to comment on the relation of tele and transference to therapeutic technique.

Some of these are realistic and some are unrealistic. Furthermore, some of them are both realistic and unrealistic. It is this curious entanglement of realism and unrealism in the expectations of an individual which leads to complications in a therapeutic situation and indeed in nearly all interpersonal situatin
