Abstract
A new “Muse transference,” which animates creativity and an “expansive” dimension, distinct from the developmental and repetitive dimensions of transference, is introduced. The expansive dimension is differentiated because it is influenced by the subjectivity of the analyst and is emergent from contemporary contextual possibilities. A theoretical discussion and case study using intersubjective-systems theory illuminates how intense passion vivifies sublimation leading to creativity when the Muse transference and expansive dimension are active, forming the foundation for new life directions. The role and solicitousness of the analyst being used as a Muse are addressed, and a clinical approach is suggested.
