The traditional view of the therapeutic interaction fails to
capture the heart of the process when it pictures the therapist as
disinterested and distanced agent of change. Growing interest in
the helpful use of countertransference reflects a shift toward a
two-person view of treatment. There has been surprisingly little
effort, however, to explore systematically the full potential of

endeavor. Freud's account of his treatment of the Wolf Man is
offered as a cautionary tale to illustr
