The diagnosis of hysterical personality is frequently charged by a negative counter-transference, and relies partly on it. In most of cases, treatment is difficult and includes many zones of conflict, who endanger the relationship between patient and therapist. The aim of the association of two psychotherapists is to exploit the therapeutic possibilities created by the inducted triangular relationship, by using positively certain zones of conflict. It seems to us that this procedure has advantages for both patients and therapists.
