Abstract

|
Countertransference is a kind of illusion which analyst perceives his analysand as his own internal object. This phenomenon comes from both analyst’s unresolved conflict and from the analysand’s need. Professor Sandler called this phenomenon ’role responsiveness’, which came from analysand’s need. Freud recognised that countertransference was kind of an obstacle to analysis. It was a shameful phenomenon by analysts’ unresolved conflict. However, modern psychoanalysts recognised that it was helpful for the analysts to understand analysands’ unconscious conflict. Charles Brenner wrote that countertransference came out from the darkness to the light. Glenn Gabbard wrote about countertransfernce as a ’joint creation’ which was made by both analyst and analysand. Henry Smith wrote about countertransference as a ‘mutual responsiveness‘ and primary source of data about the patient. He also wrote that countertransference served as a principal motive for doing the work of analysis, and ’countertransference structures’ fueled the analytic work. Author described two aspects of countertransference. First, the countertransference originated from analyst’s unresolved conflict. Second, the one developed by analysand’s internal need, role responsiveness. Author described how countertransference acted in the clinical situations, such as selecting patient, charging fee and dealing with missed session. Analyst who felt uncomfortable with male patient may refuse to see him. Analyst who was insecure to charge fee might not charge optimal fee. Analyst who had the fear of rejection may perceive missed session as a personal rejection.
