Ferenczi's Theory

Ferenczi's Theory emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship, suggesting that healing occurs through genuine, empathetic connections between therapist and patient. He believed that trust, safety, and emotional honesty are crucial for clients to explore and resolve subconscious conflicts. Ferenczi also highlighted the role of the therapist's own responsiveness and authenticity, advocating for a more compassionate and collaborative approach, rather than distant analysis. His ideas promote understanding of how early relationships shape our mental health and how meaningful, empathetic interactions in therapy can facilitate emotional growth and recovery.
