[Countertransference in psychoanalytic supervision]. 1994

A Von Blarer

The author discusses the relationship between analysand, analyst and supervisor as a three-way constellation in which one person is always absent and at the same time present. He introduces the term "analysand counter-transference reaction" in an attempt to conceptualise the specific reactions of the analysand to characteristic behaviour on the part of the analyst, which in the author's view need to be carefully distinguished from other transference phenomena. The author illustrates the complexities of the transference dynamics involved with reference to three case histories, two of them reported briefly, the third in detail.
