Transmission is a concept that has a place in the English translation of Freud’s work, and hence, as predicted, it figures in different contexts of later generations of analysts. Still, as a theoretical concept, it is ambiguous and elusive. In my opinion, the concept of ‘transmission’ is underdeveloped. In this article, I present some clinical and conceptual issues on transference and transformation in light of when, how, and what is transmitted. The article also discusses several psychoanalytic theories that elucidate transmission, such as transference, projective identification, the analytic third, and transformation. Some philosophical and neuroscientific studies are also discussed. I will argue that work in and with transference – by transformation – there is something that gets transmitted. The clinical implication of this is that the analyst must be willing to be receptive to the transmitted part. Thus, we can conclude that we may delineate transference as being either subjective or intersubjective in nature.
