Apsychotherapy model that makes use of free association and transference:

I believe the model is known as psychoanalysis.
psychoanalysis is aimed to analyze unconcious mind of the patient in order to determine his/her type of psychological disorder.
From the analyzation process, the psychologists hope to gather up several fragments that could be used as and indication/symtoms for a certain condition, so they could formulate appropriate treatment for the patient.
