Countertransference in Psychotherapy:

About
Countertransference is no longer viewed as merely an obstacle to effective therapy; rather, it is now recognized as a powerful diagnostic and relational tool. Once regarded as a therapist's personal interference, countertransference is currently understood as co-constructed—shaped by both the therapist’s subjectivity and the client’s unconscious dynamics. It provides valuable information about the client’s internal world, affect regulation, and relational style. This webinar explores the evolving understanding of countertransference, including how to identify, reflect on, and use it productively within a therapeutic frame. It will also consider the challenges therapists face in managing intense or uncomfortable feelings evoked during therapy, particularly with clients who provoke strong identification, frustration, or helplessness.Date
