In reply to Sigolene=what is a transfert?, posted by R.Anne on November 26, 2000, at 22:31:11
The concept of "transfert" is very complicated. But i try to summerize. It's the strong feelings that a patient may experience toward his/her psychoanalist. This feelings are related to what the patient, as a child, experienced towards his own caregivers. This allows the patient to understand the origin of his/her actual feelings towards other people. Exemple: (extremly simplified) if a child was rejected by his parents, when he grows up, he may also feel rejected by everyone even if it's not the case. He may also put himself in situations in which he will be sure of being rejected, to confort his fears.
I hope you can understand (my english is not very good). You can still go on specialized web site about psychoanalysis and find a better explaination. I had myself psychoanalysis, and it has solved lots of problems for me, like hair los for example.> I am familiar with psychoanalytic theory but there must be another word for "transfert" no? I'm trying to understand this and cannot seem to come up with the word--is it cathexis? I forgot.

Up until then my hair loss was very mild. My question is; could the stress from depression (and other stress factors in my life) be the cause of my hair loss? This hair loss precipitates my taking any meds so I'm pretty sure its not related to any med (which I've taken plenty of), and I currently take no meds. I wonder if I got my depression under control (and hence, the most major stress factor in my life) that my hair will begin growing again? Has anyone elese experienced something like this (hair regrowth , non med related response to depression subsiding?).
