Understanding Countertransference

From Projective Identification to Empathy

• By Michael J. Tansey, and Walter F. Burke.

Published October 1995

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…
