[A score in transference. BIP--experiencing the relationship in psychoanalysis].

The (emotional) experience of reference in psychoanalyses, presented here, has been developed by the author in continuation of a method evolved by Gill and Hoffman 1982 in Chicago, which they termed "The Patient's Experience of the Relationship with the Therapist", to describe the course of analytical work on patient resistance against transference. The "Experience of reference in psychoanalyses" is a rating method that links by means of its two manuals quantitative methods (which are empirical in the conventional sense) with qualitative, clinical-hermeneutical research approaches. After reliable coding of categorial data of a tape recorder transcription, a condensed description of the course and a clinical comment are obtained, the graphic representation of which reads like a score transference.
