The *American Journal of Psychiatry* has arranged early release of a
study prior to publication in the journal. 

The study was "a randomized controlled clinical trial, dismantling
design, plus follow-up evaluations 1 year and 3 years after treatment
termination." 

Among the findings were that "patients with a lifelong pattern of poor
object relations profited more from 1 year of therapy with transference
interpretations than from therapy without transference interpretations.

This effect was sustained throughout the 4-year study period."

The study is "Transference Interpretations in Dynamic Psychotherapy: Do
They Really Yield Sustained Effects?"
