Whereas the former group regarded [[countertransference <ref>]] as an obstacle to [[Frenchanalysis]]: ''contre-transfert''</ref> , the latter group regarded it as a useful tool.

==Jacques Lacan==In the 1950s, [[FreudLacan]] used the term 'describes [[countertransference]]' to denote the as a [[analystresistance]]'s , an obstacle which hinders the [[unconsciousprogress]] of [[feelingspsychoanalytic]] toward the [[analysandtreatment]].

Although [[FreudCountertransference]] is a [[resistance]] of the [[analyst]]. Thus [[Lacan]] defines [[countertransference]] only used as "the sum of the term very rarelyprejudices, [[passion]]s, perplexities, it became much more widely used in and even the insufficient information of the [[analyst]] at a certain [[moment]] of the [[dialectic]]al [[process]]' of the [[treatment]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 225</ref> ==Case Studies==[[Lacan]] refers to two of [[psychoanalytic theoryFreud]] after his 's [[deathcase]]studies to illustrate what he means.  ===Young Homosexual Woman===In particular1957 [[Lacan]] presents a similar [[analysis]] of Freud's treatment of the young [[homosexual]] woman <ref>{{F}} (1920a [1918]) "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|The Psychogenesis of a Case of Female Homosexuality]], " [[analystSE]] XVIII, 147.</ref>.  He argues that when [[Freud]] [[interpreted]] the [[woman]]'s [[dream]] as expressing a [[wish]] to deceive him, he was focusing on the [[imaginary]] [[dimension]] of the [[woman]]'s soon divided over [[transference]] rather than on the [[symbolic]] dimension.<ref>{{S4}} p. 135</ref>.  That is, [[Freud]] interpreted the [[dream]] as something directed at him personally, rather than as something directed at the [[Other]]. [[Lacan]] argues that [[Freud]] did this because he found the role allotted to [[woman]] attractive and because he [[identification|identified]] with the [[woman]]'s [[father]].<ref>{{S4}} p. 106-9</ref>. Once again, [[Freud]]'s [[countertransference]] in discussions of brought the [[treatment]] to a premature end, though this time it was [[techniqueFreud]]who decided to terminate it.

On the one hand, many [[analyst]]s argued that [[counter-transference]] manifestations were the result of incompletely analysed elements in the [[analyst]], and that such manifestations should therefore be reduced to a minimum by a more complete The [[training]] [[analysis]]. On does not put the other hand, some [[analyst]]s from the beyond [[Klein]]ian [[schoolpassion]], beginning with Paula Heimann, argued and to believe that it does would be to believe that all the [[analyst]] should be guided in his [[interpretationpassion]]s by his own stem from the [[countertransferenceunconscious]] reactions, taking his own feelings as an indicator of the [[patientidea]]'s state of mind. Whereas the former group regarded which [[countertransferenceLacan]] as an obstacle to [[analysis]], the latter group regarded it as a useful toolrejects.

In ==Desire of the 1950s, [[[[Lacan]]]] describes [[countertransference]] as a [[resistance]]Analyst==If anything, an obstacle which hinders the [[progress]] of [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]].[[Countertransference]] is a [[resistance]] of better analysed the [[analyst]].Thus [[[[Lacan]]]] defines [[countertransference]] as 'is, the sum of the prejudices, more likely he is to be frankly in [[passionlove]]swith, perplexitiesor be quite repulsed by, and even the insufficient information of the [[analyst]] at a certain moment of the [[dialectic]]al process' of the [[treatmentanalysand]].<ref>{{EcS8}} p.225220</ref>.

If, then, the [[[[Lacan]]analyst]] refers to two of does not [[Freudact]]'s case studies to illustrate what he means. In 1951, he refers to on the basis of these [[Dorafeeling]] cases, and argues that it is not because his [[Freudtraining]]'s [[countertransferenceanalysis]] was rooted in has drained away his [[beliefpassion]] that s, but because it has given him a [[heterosexualitydesire]] which is [[natural]] rather even stronger than those [[normativepassion]]s, and in his a [[identificationdesire]] with Herr K. [[which [[Lacan]]]] argues that it was these two factors which caused [[Freud]] to handle calls the [[treatment]] badly and provoke desire of the 'negative transference' which led to [[Dora]] breaking off the [[treatmentanalyst]] .<ref>[[Lacan]], 1951a{{S8}} p. 220-1</ref>.

In 1957 ==Affect==Hence [[Lacan]] presents a similar does not entirely reject Paula Heimann's [[analysisposition]] of Freud's treatment of the young homosexual woman <ref>Freud, 1920a</ref>. He argues that when Freud interpreted the woman's dream as expressing a wish to deceive him, he was focusing on the imaginary dimension of the woman's transference rather than on the symbolic dimension <ref>S4, 135</ref>. That is, Freud interpreted the dream as something directed at him personally, rather than as something directed at the Other.

He accepts that [[analyst]]s have [[Lacanfeeling]] argues s towards their [[patient]]s, and that Freud did this because he found the woman attractive and because he identified with sometimes the woman's father <ref>{{S4}} p.106-9</ref>. Once again, Freud's [[countertransferenceanalyst]] brought can direct the [[treatment]] to a premature end, though this time it was better by reflecting on these [[Freudfeeling]] who decided to terminate its.

The preceding examples might seem to suggest that [[Lacan]] aligns himself with those [[analyst]]s who argue that the training [[analysis]] should give the [[analyst]] the capacity to transcend all affective reactions to the [[patient]]. HoweverFor example, if [[LacanFreud]] absolutely rejects this point of view, which he dismisses as had reflected a 'stoical ideal' <ref>{{S8}} p.219</ref>. The training [[analysis]] does not put the [[analyst]] beyond passion, and to believe that it does would be to believe that all the passions stem from the unconscious, an idea which [[Lacan]] rejects. If anything, the better analysed bit more on his feelings towards the young homosexual [[analystwoman]] is, the more likely he is to be frankly in love with, or be quite repulsed by, the [[analysand]] <ref>{{S8}} p.220</ref>. If, then, the might have avoided [[analystinterpreting]] does not act on the basis of these feelings, it is not because his training her [[analysisdream]] has drained away his passions, but because it has given him as a desire which is even stronger than those passions, a desire which [[Lacan]] calls the [[desire of the [[analyst]]message]]addressed directly to him.<ref>{{S8S4}} p.220-1108</ref>.

Hence [[Lacan]] does not entirely reject Paula Heimann's position. He accepts <blockquote>"No one has ever said that the [[analyst]]s should never have feelings towards their his [[patient]]s. But he must [[know]] not only not to give into [[them]], and that sometimes the to keep them in their [[analystplace]] can direct the treatment better by reflecting on these feelings. For example, if Freud had reflected a bit more on but also how to make adequate use of them in his feelings towards the young homosexual woman, he might have avoided interpreting her dream as a message addressed directly to him technique."<ref>{{S4S1}} p.10832</ref>.</blockquote>

No one has ever said that the If [[analystcountertransference]] should never have feelings towards his is condemned by [[patientLacan]]. But , then, it is because he must know not only defines it not to give into them, to keep them in their place[[terms]] of [[affect]]s felt by the [[analyst]], but also how as the [[analyst]]'s failure to make adequate use of them in his technique. <ref>{{Sl}} pthose [[affect]]s appropriately.32</ref>

If [[countertransference]]is condemned by ==Late Lacan==In the 1960s [[Lacan]], then, it is because he defines it not in terms becomes very critical of affects felt by the term [[analyst]], but as the [[analystcountertransference]]'s failure to use those affects appropriately.

In the 1960s [[Lacan]] becomes very critical of the term countertransference.He argues that it connotes a symmetrical [[relationship ]] between the [[analyst]] and the [[analysand]], whereas the [[transference ]] is anything but a symmetrical relationship. When speaking of the [[analyst]]'s position it is both misleading and unnecessary to use the term countertransference; it is sufficient to speak of the different ways in which the [[analyst]] and [[analysand]] are implicated in the transference <ref>{{S8}} 233</ref>. 'The transference is a phenomenon in which subject and psycho-analyst are both included. To divide it in terms of transference and counter-transference . . . is never more than a way of avoiding the essence of the matter' <ref>{{Sll}} 231</ref>.

==def==Countertransference is a term in psychotherapy, denoting a condition where the therapist, as a result When [[speaking]] of the therapy sessions, begins to transfer the therapist[[analyst]]'s own repressed feelings position it is both misleading and unnecessary to use the term [[patientcountertransference]]. It ; it is also defined as sufficient to [[speak]] of the entire body of feelings that different ways in which the therapist has toward [[analyst]] and [[analysand]] are implicated in the [[patienttransference]].<ref>{{S8}} p. 233</ref>.

Countertransference <blockquote>"The [[transference]] is defined in oppositon to transference, where a person phenomenon in therapy begins to transfer feelings <ref>whether positive or negative</ref> to the therapistwhich [[subject]] and [[psycho]]-analyst are both included. For example, the person To [[divide]] it in therapy may begin to look at the therapist as if the therapist were the terms of [[transference]] and [[patientcounter-transference]]'s mother, transferring their feelings for the real mother to the therapist. This . . is considered never more than a positive sign in psychoanalytic therapy, showing that way of avoiding the [[patientessence]] is making progressof the matter."<ref>{{S11}} p.231</ref></blockquote>

In On Becoming a Counselor, Eugene Kennedy states that ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Affect]]* [[Analyst]]||* [[Desire]]* [[Interpretation]]||* [[Training]]* [[Transference]]||* [[countertransferenceTreatment]]has the potential to be present in any counseling relationship. He states that it is often one of the biggest challenges for a new counselor to overcome, and while there is no way to totally overcome the problem of counter-transference <ref>since as Humans we all form opinions of others</ref> learning to not let * [[countertransferenceUnconscious]]affect a counseling relationship is key. The mantra "only connect" is often associated with this effect.{{Also}}
