Abstract
Some patients manifest intense transferences or transference-like reactions in the earliest hours of psychotherapy. Although these reactions may actually represent transference, they may also arise from other sources, such as aspects of a patient's character, displacements from former therapists, impaired reality testing, information about the therapist, and therapist's behavior. Clinical examples are presented, and their management is discussed.
