APPLICATION OF TRANSFERENCE COUNSELING TECHNIQUES IN FRIENDSHIP AND FAMILY PROBLEMS

Abstract

Counseling is a reciprocal relationship between the counselor and the counselee that aims to help solve the counselee's problems. One of the counseling approaches is psychoanalysis which is an approach that states that the subconscious can conflict and influence a person's behavior, thoughts, and emotions. this approach was developed by Sigmund Freud. One of the techniques of psychoanalysis is transference, which is a technique where the counselee considers the counselor as an object to vent their emotions. Either as the closest person, or the person they hate. By using the transference technique, the counselee can comfortably reveal all their problems. This research uses a qualitative description method and literature study, namely by interviewing the counselee and looking for various sources of articles, books, and others that are in accordance with the counselee's problems. The counselee had a problem with her friend who reminded her of her traumatic experience with her father. The counselee chose to forget and ignore this problem which is included in the repression type ego defense mechanism. After counseling using transference counseling techniques, the counselee felt satisfied and calm after revealing all the problems that existed in the counselee
