In the years since the publication of The Wounded Healer,
countertransference has become a central consideration in the
analytic process. David Sedgwick's work was ground-breaking in
tackling this difficult topic from a Jungian perspective and
demonstrating how countertransference can be used in positive ways.
Sedgwick's extended study of the process candidly presents the
analyst's struggles and shows how the analyst is, as Jung said, "as
much in the analysis as the patient." The book extends Jung's
prescient work on countertransference to create a dynamic view of
the analyst-patient interaction, stressing the importance of the
analyst's own woundedness and how this may be used in conjunction
with the patient's own. Sedgwick begins with a discussion of the
need and justification for a Jungian approach to
countertransference, then reviews Jungian theories and presents
detailed illustrations of cases showing the complexity of
transference-countertransference processes in both the patient and
the analyst, and concludes with a model of countertransference
processing. This Classic Edition also includes a new introduction
by the author. It will be an important work for Jungian analysts,
psychotherapists and other clinicians and students interested in
the struggles of the therapeutic process.
