Hello internet neighborinos!

What should we, as therapists, do about countertransference? Like so many topics in psychotherapy, opinions are widely divided. Some schools of thought counsel to manage it on our own and ignore while focusing primarily on techniques, other approaches make it central to the therapeutic work. Like everything else from a controlmastery perspective, the answer is "it depends."

This video, with Trevor Ahrendt, will explore why knowing your countertransference is an invaluable source of data for formulation and how to use it effectively and objectively. It also helps to explain why it may be more important to understand in certain cases than others. These things then allow an informed decision about what role it should play in treatment.
