Ed,
your reply humbles and honours me. Thank you.
In no way did I attempt to discard 'fact of life' transference, nor did
I mean to belittle all the great achievements given to humanity
by Freud and all those who came after him.
I see and feel your hand offered across the 'divide' and am most happy
to shake.
There is so much to learn and take in.
Thank you Alison, for making clear, transference is not an either on -
or off state but an expression of our
yearning to be one with more than just ourselves, eventually to be one
with the All.
Let me rephrase one of my previous sentences:
To the degree we are able to take our -rightful- place in the orders of
love, we are relieved of our natural tendency to transfer.
Does that make sense?

Max,
Through Freud's dicovery of transference and that it goes on _all the time_, he was able to develop psychoanalysis, and at the time, it was an outstanding contribution. Although it has not been stated- to my knowledge- I would venture to say that Hellinger knows his Freud, probably deeply as it is also considered good literature. But transference, be it doubled natured, transference illusion, transference neurosis, negative, or eroticized, is a good thing to know about as we are learning that people systems, family systems can transfer onto other family systems as well. So in phenomenological systemic work, an understanding of tranference/countertransference is necessary and appropriate for us to grow in the work. Other processes such as introjection, projection, occur to influence the person-in-system too. It is a major undertaking, our work.
