| Abstract: | The Advanced Psychotherapy Training Program educates clinicians so that they become skilled psychoanalytic psychotherapists. The program spans three years of three ten-week semesters. As an extension of the ATP program, a Conference on the Nature of the Transference is held bi-annually, in the fall (generally October or November) and in the spring (generally in May, although sometimes in March or April). Papers that used as the conference case study generally are written by ATP students or alumni. However, occasionally, an author whose literature deals with aspects of psychoanalysis acts as the conference presenter. Or the conference topic applies to issues that psychoanalysts deal with, such as insurance. Discussants are frequently program alumni as well or members of Boston’s medical or therapeutic community. Papers cover a range of topics within transference; discussion papers on the subject are often available as well. |

All materials in the collection are organized according to date. The collection had been previously arranged an unknown number of times as documents from students and for publicity were collected. Two papers are undated and have been placed at the beginning of the collection; their dates can be approximated using bibliographic information. Many of the items in the Individual Papers series are dated with multiple and conflicting dates. They have been arranged according to the earliest date available, whether that is an author’s date, a BPSI stamped date, or a hand-noted date. While all discussants’ papers are housed with their known conference, some are not signed by their authors. When possible, using information provided by the registration flyer and context from the discussion paper, authorship was gleaned; in these cases, the surmised author is preceded by (probable). One discussion paper’s authorship, for the November 1996 conference titled Transitional Space and Sadomasochistic Relating, remains unknown. Materials have been re-housed from their previous folders into acid free folders and archival boxes. Series I folders are labeled by paper author; Series II folders are listed by conference title. Series III folders are labeled by paper author.
