(Submitted to Acta Mathematica Sinica (English Series))

In the context of a symmetric diffusion process X admitting a carré du champs operator, we give a precise description of the Dirichlet form of the process obtained by subjecting X to a drift transformation of gradient type. This description relies on boundary-type conditions restricting an associated reflecting Dirichlet form.
