According to psychodynamic psychotherapists, what is the “blank slate” role of the therapist and why is it important?

What will be an ideal response?


The “blank slate” role refers to therapist’s efforts to reveal little about himself or herself to the client. It is important because it facilitates the client’s transference (unrealistic unconscious interpersonal tendencies) rather than a more realistic (and less revealing) response to the therapist.
