Description

In psychoanalysis the term “countertransference”, coined by Freud, describes the complex emotional relation between therapist and patient. The term is nowadays used in a broad sense, referring to the entire range of emotions experienced by the therapist/analyst covering many types of therapeutic process. Today’s mental-health practitioners are called upon to deal with a wide variety of challenges, some of them highly emotionally-charged, such as child abuse, gender identity or catastrophic loss. The book is intended for mental health and other human service practitioners, such as physicians, educators, jurists and human resource managers.
