Countertransference is an important part of the analytical process. It is concerned with the analysts emotional response to the patient. As such it can be a particularly difficult aspect of the analytical setting & especially so because of the threat of possible sexual involvement with the patient. At present there is little available on this difficult topic. Jungian analyst David Sedgwick tackles the subject bravely & shows how to use the countertransference in a positive way. The result is one of the finest Jungian clinical texts of recent years.
