Compare and contrast transference and countertransference? Why must they be dealt with?
What will be an ideal response?
- Transference is the client's mistaken ideas about the helper which can interfere. Transference refers to client feelings from past relationships or personal issues that are carried over to the helper or helping relationship. For example, the client feels anger toward a male helper due to past abusive experiences with men.
- This refers to the helper’s reactions to a client. These originate in past relationships or personal issues and are transferred to the client or on to the helping relationship. For example, the helper becomes submissive in the face of the client’s anger because of how the helper was raised.
- Both transference and countertransference can 1) cause a rupture in the therapeutic relationship, 2) Focus the sessions away from the client's goals.
