Gay Psychotherapy
Through transference the unconscious becomes entangled using the psychotherapist, and it's also the battle to free ourselves from the 'bad' aspects of this entanglement while assimilating the 'good' aspects that can bring about change.

Along with the specific installments of transference inside the sessions the transference can be viewed an entire, so when having two aspects - the positive and the negative. The positive transference consists of our good feelings in regards to the therapist, as well as the negative of bad feelings. These teams of feelings is seen as a replay with the ambivalent feelings all infants have regarding parents, who on the one hand earn 'love' giving protection and security, as well as on one other earn 'hate' by setting limits and imposing restrictions.
Neither the positive nor negative transference feelings is going to be appropriate towards the actual person with the therapist, and because of their infantile origins both is going to be exaggerated and distorted, perhaps tending towards idealised images including the saint and also the devil. Even as progress in therapy both extremes should diminish in intensity and be substituted with a concept of the therapist as an actual person with both good and bad qualities.
The negative transference is surely an accumulation of all of the bad feelings we proficient in regards to our parents during childhood, both the approach we take to actually experienced them, and our phantasies about the subject. The positive transference is an accumulation of good feelings, partly memories of methods we actually experienced them, but, also, partly phantasies about how we wished they had been, the industry reflection of the we needed from them but didn't get.
An infant would you not get satisfactory parenting grows up harbouring a deep desiring it along with a wish that one day he might meet somebody that will give you what he needed but never got. The wish can create an idealised phantasy, what about a saint or an angel, and this may become manifest within the positive transference.
The extent to which we'll be conscious of both negative and positive transference takes place, particularly the extent this agreement we could note that the two co-exist as two sides of the same coin depends on the character and seriousness of our own problems.
Both aspects of the transference must be worked through as we progress for the purpose of an old, realistic, adult relationship using the therapist that will enable us to get mature, realistic, adult relationships with others. The negative aspect, the fears the therapist hurts and destructive have to be worked through to ensure that we could deepen our rely upon her or him, and also the idealised positive aspects have to be worked through so that we could meet him or her being a real individual.
