Seeking to mediate between the "classical" view of
countertransference as a neurotic impediment to the treatment
process and the more recent "totalist" perspective, which assumes
that the therapist's emotional response necessarily reveals
something about the patient, Tansey and Burke stake out a
thoughtful middle ground. They submit that the therapist's
utilization of adequately processed countertransference reactions
is in fact integral to treatment success, while arguing against the
totalist assumption that the therapist's emotional to the patient
must be revelatory in a direct and immediate way.
