[Methods and transference in short term psychoanalytic therapy]. 1977

K König

The therapist's emotional reactions and attitudes in time-limited short-term therapy are presented. Limitations of time and scope this kind of therapy must be dealt with emotionally by the therapist; emotional reactions and attitudes can be expected to vary according to the therapist's personality structure; schizoid, depressive, compulsive or hysterical. Transference in time-limited short term therapy can be very intense but is easier to indendify. This has implications for countertransference reactions caused by the patient's transference.
