Name: Annie Reich, psychoanalyst, scholar (1902 -- 1971)
Historical Note:
Besides the other of her works, Annie Reich is known for a study of female sexual submission in terms of identification with the partner's superior body.
Annie Reich also contributed to the technique of psychoanalysis specifically on countertransference and on the termination of therapy. She restated the classical view of countertransference as the projection of past attitudes and feelings of the analyst on to the patient, in opposition to the interactive view than coming to the fore of countertransference as revealint something about the patient, the methodological challenge she presented of distinguishing between the two still remains cogent.
