They're already at the gate! The mayor and Council shake and pray, They don't know what to do or say. The burghers spring to arms, The priests ring out alarms.

Freud writes most unequivocally on the therapeutic indispensability and universal character of transference love in his "Delusions and Dreams in Jensen's 'Gradiva'" (I907): "The process of cure is accomplished in a relapse into love, if we combine all the many components of the sexual instinct under the term 'love'; and such a relapse is indispensable, for the symptoms on account of which the treatment has been undertaken are nothing other than precipitates of earlier struggles connected with repression or the return of the repressed, and they can only be resolved and washed away by a fresh high tide of the same passions" (90).
THE DISCOVERY OF TRANSFERENCE LOVE The discovery of transference love belongs to the historical context of the cathartic treatment of Anna 0. by Josef Breuer (Freud and Breuer, 1893-95, 21-47) between 188o and 1882, on which Freud, from the perspective of a supervisor, so to speak, gave an "interpretive reconstruction" in 1893. With the passing of time this interpretation had come more and more under the influence of his theory of transference (Hirschmiiller, 1978, 170). In his lectures at Clark University he pays detailed attention to the preliminary phase of the treatment, in which he had not been involved, and interprets the young woman's symptoms as signs of the memory of her father's illness and death: "Thus they correspond to a display of mourning" (Freud, 1910a).
