| Summary |
This book offers empirically based guidance for the practitioner who is attempting to manage countertransference reactions to trauma and for the researcher who wishes to conduct more sophisticated and clinically valid investigations of countertransference. The author weaves together data from anecdotal reports from her own work, transcript studies analyzing therapists' countertransference responses in actual; therapy settings, and experimental studies conducted at the Trauma Research Institute to establish a set of countertransference responses common across clinicians responding to various types of trauma. Among the types of traumatic experiences discussed in chapters are child physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; violent assault, such as rape, mugging, torture, and the Holocaust; chronic disillusionment, such as community violence and racism; and traumatic loss, such as career loss or physical injury and debilitation. Clinical cases underscore practical guidance for the clinician. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved) |
