Here's the psychoanalytic method described in a simple way:
Quote:
Working through the transference entails that:
a) the therapist observes and monitors the patient's defensive pattern in the here-and-now vis-ŕ-vis the boundaries and the therapist (DT);
b) she helps the patient to focus on these patterns, to experience and express fully the underlying feelings and emotions (XT);
c) she helps the patient to link them with the same emotions, patterns of defensive behaviour and responses in his past and current relationships (DAX/TCP);
d) she helps the patient to change those maladaptive patterns in the here-and-now as well as out there (D/TC).

I don't think this speaks to everything that happens, but at least it is in black and white.
