The Paradox of Countertransference: You and Me, Here and Now

Author(s) : Carol Holmes

Reviews and Endorsements

The author compares the philosophies that underline these diverse schools and explores their precepts in relation to the notion of countertransference. In contrast to traditional psychoanalytic texts, the countertransference theme of the book is examined in relation to the biased and contradictory aspect of the concept, and highlights some of the more radical and interpersonal ideas that endorse the relational and complementary qualities between therapist and client. The text offers concise and engaging introductions to the main schools of psychotherapy, and includes interviews and case study analyses from notable practitioners and trainers from these competing approaches.This book will be invaluable for those interested in understanding the importance of the hidden messages that are concealed in our communications
