This book explores the analyst’s countertransference experience
in clinical settings from a number of theoretical perspectives in
order to develop a transtheoretical definition of
countertransference. Stemming from an examination of the definition
of countertransference itself, the author utilizes a philosophical
hermeneutic approach to ask how pathological countertransference
develops, how analysts separate themselves from the patient’s
experience, and what analysts should do to prevent their
countertransference response from interfering with treatment.
Through the unique hermeneutic methodology, philosophical themes
within selected writings are explored as a way of gaining a deeper
meaning and understanding of countertransference. By
re-interpreting these selected writings in a new light, the book
develops a transtheoretical definition and approach to
countertransference. As such, the author offers a timely
reassessment of the meaning and understanding of
countertransference as it has evolved over the past century, going
from being considered an obstacle to treatment brought on by the
analyst’s unconscious conflicts to being understood as a way of
communicating and understanding the patient’s unconscious
material. It also provides a unique pathway through various depth
psychological, therapeutic, and theoretical approaches to
countertransference, foregrounding the significance and therapeutic
value of the concept and seeking a new transtheoretical definition.
This volume will appeal to scholars and researchers of psychology
and mental health.
