Acute and Chronic Countertransference Reactions
Acute and Chronic Countertransference Reactions
This chapter examines the technical implications of the activation of intense countertransference reactions in the therapist when faced with severe regression in the transference, and the particular distortions and technical difficulties derived from chronic countertransference reactions. It presents two examples that illustrate the changing role of countertransference analysis as we shift from less to more severe psychopathology. Countertransference diagnosis and management are also discussed.
