This chapter examines the crucial role of transference in supportive therapy, emphasizing a pragmatic approach that informs the therapeutic work rather than exploring transference in depth. It differentiates between the active and passive use of transference, outlining strategies to recognize and manage transference dynamics without destabilizing the therapeutic process. Key considerations include preventing the escalation of negative transference, restoring communication when ruptures occur, and avoiding acting out. The chapter also highlights the limited but essential use of interpretation, reserved for specific cases where it can enhance therapeutic engagement rather than provoke regression.
