Abstract
The term ‘transference’ paraphrases the irrational factor in medicine. Physicians feel disturbed by this factor. However, medicine is not only the application of rational data but also dealing with the patient. Transference is a prerequisite of perception and therapy. Analytic therapy aims at converting transference as repetition of behaviour into recollection. Transference thus reveals the hidden needs of human rights. It means communication, justification, satisfaction. Experience in clinic and practice shows that this applies not only to neurotics but also to patients with organic diseases, and especially to the latter where it is matter of life or death.
