In another thread above, Daisy mentioned that recent research shows that some clients in therapy who get better do it by emulating something about a T to whom they have attached. And, that type of thing doesn't transfer to another T very well. Does anyone have any references to that research? I'd love to follow up with some reading on that. It seems to intuitive to me, and it matches my own experience.

I am interested in knowing about this too.

Otherwise known as introjection?

I'll find it and post it this evening. It is from my IMH class, I just haven't had time to find the reference. But I will!

Well, yeah, but I'm hoping to find research to back up the concept in the context of therapy. And also the bit about how you can't transfer a successful introjection to another subject.

This is driving me crazy. I've been back through a million books and can't find the passage I was looking for.
However - there are two books which discuss the idea of "good fit" with a therapist and how important and non-transferable it is. One is "The Analysis of Transference" by Gill, and one is "How Does Analysis Cure?" by Kohut. I like the Kohut book the best.
In short form, the book "Between Therapist and Client: The New Relationship" has many papers and chapters that are really helpful.
And I'll keep looking for exactly what I was talking about.

Thanks Daisy!
I think there was also a similar discussion in "A General Theory of Love", although I think in that book they don't talk about the experience not transfering well. In my experience, the attachment that enables the mirroring to health doesn't really transfer at all. Which is, of course, why I'm interested in the research on that.

That was one of the first books I went back to. But I didn't find that discussion. Instead it talks about the strength of the relationship helping but leaves out whether this globalizes or not.
I'm going to keep looking over the weekend because I'm intrigued. One of the reasons it takes me a while to look things up is because I get sucked into the book I'm looking in and begin to reread it. An hour will go by before I realize it...
