The Power of Countertransference: Innovations in Analytic Technique (Wiley Series in Psychotherapy and Counselling)

The Power of Countertransference: Innovations in Analytic Technique (Wiley Series in Psychotherapy and Counselling) by Maroda, Karen J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780471926269.

The author advocates a change in basic psychoanalytic technique in order to enhance the psychoanalytic method. Expands the key elements of transference and resistance to acknowledge that these phenomena are expressed not only by patientsbut also by their therapists. Thus, psychoanalytic treatment is viewed as mutual and interpersonal, and the emotional responses of the therapist are viewed as an integral part of the process rather than something to be stifled, overcome or analyzed away.
