Understanding transference : the core conflictual relationship theme method

In Part I, the authors provide a survey of the basics of the Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method, including its history, scoring, standard categories, and detailed illustrations of the CCRT scoring of patient narratives obtained during psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and other talking therapies. The Relationship Anecdotes Paradigm, a versatile new method for obtaining narratives told on request, is described. The authors delve deeper into the multiple facets of the CCRT in Part II, where they explore nine directions to find the meaning of the CCRT measure. Also included in this section is a newly expanded study of the parallel of the CCRT within waking and dream narratives. There are also two new explorations of the consistency of the CCRT across time--from age 3 to 5, and from before psychotherapy to during psychotherapy. In Part III, the book turns to more clinical applications of the CCRT method, including the everyday uses of the CCRT in practice. In the book conclusion, the authors reflect on the convergence of many CCRT findings with Freud's observations about transference and a set of prescriptions for the continued healthy growth of the CCRT method.
