Laurie Anne Pearlman, Karen W. Saakvitne

W. W. Norton & Company, 1995

Praises for 'Trauma and the Therapist'
This is a wonderfully touching book, I could barely stand to put down. It is the finest book I have ever read on the therautic process of treating trauma victims and the effects of trauma experienced by the therapist. The depth of information regarding transference and countertransference and the exploration of what a therapist truely goes thru is simply to powerful to put into words. I ...

4 reviews
Christopher Bollas

Columbia Univ Pr, 1987

Eye Opening
At once amusing and heartbreakingly honest, Christopher Bollas has the ability to cut completely through the fog of ego and object attachment and promote understanding, awareness, acceptance and curiosity. This book is on my list of Life-Changing Must Haves.

Glen O. Gabbard, Sallye M. Wilkinson

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
This book represents the end result of a collaboration between two of the clearest thinking clinical minds in our field today. Drs. Gabbard and Wilkinson bring, to this book, a wealth of clinical and teaching experience, deep and comprehensive understanding of the human mind and condition, and an enviable ability to spell out and explain it all. These traits, which the authors share, is evident ...

Shared Wisdom

Pamela Cooper-White

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2004

Highly Recommended
This work appears to be the most cutting-edge, sophisticated text available on the integration of self-development, counseling technique, and Christian theological reflection. The theoretical and philosophical base is highly relational and contextual, as evidenced by consistent attention to matters of intersubjectivity, multiculturalism, and ethics. The author uses the psychodynamic rubric of ...

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship

2 reviews

Taylor & Francis, 2007

Review
I very much enjoyed this book, which takes the reader beyond the classical view that erotic transference and countertransference signal forms of resistance, and instead looks at the inherent sensuality and sexuality in the therapy couple, and how this can be understood and worked with to effect transformation. David Mann takes us on a journey of the erotic, of love, showing us how this is at the ...

Looking for Ground: Countertransference and the Problem of Value in Psychoanalysis (Relational Perspectives ...

2 reviews
Peter G.M. Carnochan

The Analytic Press, 2001

Intelligent post-modern perspective
Academia is replete with examples of post-modernist theoretical works in disciplines ranging from organizational studies to literary criticism. Carnochan has done something rare - brought an intelligent and humane post-modern perspective to a discussion of psychoanalytic technique and theory. Rare in that one is not led to give up hope of discerning a way to move through the confusion of a ...

Constance J. Dalenberg

It doesn't get better than this
Connie Dalenberg is a brilliant research-clinician and this, her first book, is absolute proof. Don't miss it.

Transference and Countertransference in Non-Analytic Therapy: Double-Edged Swords

2 reviews
Judith A. Schaeffer

University Press of America, 2006

Much needed attention to a little discussed concept
Dr. Schaeffer's book provides a refreshing alternative to the recent focus on manualized treatment techniques in training programs and in the psychological literature. She offers a broad exploration of transference and countertransference, and clearly demonstrates the powerful influences of these constructs. Perhaps most importantly, she argues convincingly that these misunderstood aspects of ...

The Intimate Edge: Extending the Reach of Psychoanalytic Interaction

3 reviews
Darlene Bregman Ehrenberg

W. W. Norton & Company, 1992

The Bottom-Line of Self
Ms. Ehrenberg's basic concept is so simple, so compelling, and so true--desire is the root of all overt motivations, and self-denial is the source of all psychological pathologies. It's not a brain-chemistry imbalance of genetic origin, requiring life-long drug therapy--it's as simple as being hurt, denied, and abused, often in subtle ways. We aren't in some way--genetically, spiritually, ...

Compassionate Therapy: Working with Difficult Clients (Jossey Bass Social and Behavioral Science Series)

2 reviews
Jeffrey A. Kottler

Jossey-Bass, 1992

A must-have addition to your reference library!!!
If you are a beginning or experienced therapist, you won't find a better wake up and reminder call to client and therapist care than Jeffrey Kottler provides. Easily readable, refreshingly honest, this book offers experienced insights into therapist/client interaction which are liberating to say the least. Not only did I benefit greatly from reading this book, but best of all, so did my ...

When Professionals Weep: Emotional and Countertransference Responses in End-of-Life Care

1 review

Brunner-Routledge, 2006

A must-read for every "people helping" professional.
In my experience I have seen little written in depth on the issue of countertransference. As a hospice social worker, it makes me squirm just thinking about how my own countertransference has interferred with effective interventions. "When Professionals Weep" offers specific case examples and analyses which we can apply to ourselves and our work. This book was an eye-opener for me--helping me ...

Howard F. Stein

University Press of America, 2007

The Experiential Side of Organizational Life
Howard Stein has taken the insight that may be gained by using a psychologically informed perspective to examine the workplace in a new and much needed direction. Dr. Stein not only wants his reader to understand the workplace from a psychological perspective; he wants the reader to have the experience and feelings that his inspection of work life brings to the table. The workplace is most ...

Transference and Counter-Transference

1 review
Enrique Racker

International Universities Press, 1968

A classic:
In this book, Heinrich Racker, a South American analyst influenced by Klein, offers the clinically invaluable categories of concordant and complementary contertransferences. The former term refers to the therapist's feeling (empathically) what the patient as a child had felt in relation to an early object; the latter connotes the therapist's feeling (unempathically, from the viewpoint of the ...

The Power of Countertransference: Innovations in Analytic Technique

1 review
Karen J. Maroda

Jason Aronson, 1994

Essential info for therapists and interested others
Maroda is a psychoanalyst and much of what she writes relates specifically to that form of doing therapy. However, what she has to say is far too important to anyone doing therapy for this to be a deterrent to reading the book. Her thesis is that the real healing in therapy comes through the relationship between the therapist and client and that this relationship should be one between equals. She ...

Understanding Countertransference: From Projection Identification to Empathy

2 reviews
Michael J Tansey, Walter F Burke

The Analytic Press, 1995

Unravelling a complicated phenomenon
If you've ever grappled with what's going on - in the therapy room or in real life - this book is for you. Tansey and Burke take on the very complex phenomenon of "projective identification" and make it clear, well as clear as it can be, what happens and why. Since we're all victims of the projections of others, you can hardly learn too much about it. It's very important to know the differences ...

Florence Rosiello

Jason Aronson, 2000

A groundbreaking work
Rosiello's book represents new ground in dealing with erotic transference and erotic countertransference in psychoanalytic treatment. Her openness in her discussing her erotic feelings will provoke many readers, while offering many more a new way of working with these often difficult feelings. Negotioating patients through these often turbulent waters is Rosiello's specialty, and the ...

Working in the Countertransference: Necessary Entanglements

1 review
Howard A. Wishnie

Jason Aronson, 2005

Recommended Reading for Any Clinician
Dr. Wishnie's work is a gem of a book; in cogent, clear language, using plenty examples from his own practice, he dissects the complex transaction between clinician and patient known as countertransference. Countertransference has always been the bete noir of the therapeutic relationship. What to do when inevitable feelings of anger, disgust, etc. arise? Dr. Wishnie's antidote is to learn ...

The Emerging Self: A Developmental Self & Object Relations Approach to the Treatment of the Closet ...

2 reviews
James F. Masterson

Routledge, 1993

What am I doing here? !
I'm not surprised that it's Sam who is the only other reviewer (so far?). As a former computer programmer, I love the flowcharts explaining who's on first, what's on etc., of each of the main brain patterns. The first 3-4 chapters and the last few give detailed explanations of what we're doing in therapy and how, slicing it thinner than Emeril. The taped supervisory sessions could make you ...
