Product Description

Product Description
Understanding strong countertransference reactions can be the hardest part of practice for many mental health professionals - particularly with patients who have experienced great trauma. This book aimd to shows mental health practitioners how they can manage their countertransference reactions and use them as a force for healing patients suffering from trauma. The author draws on empirical studies from the Trauma Research Institute and her own clinical experience to establish a set of common countertransference responses for various types of trauma. The author explores actual clinical cases, dissects dialogue transcripts, and goes through the span of treatment to outline the various methods for dealing with countertransference, such as when and how to disclose countertransference reactions to patients. The types of traumatic experiences included are wide-ranging: child physical, sexual and emotional abuse; violent assault, such as mugging, rape, torture, and Holocaust experiences; trauma caused by chronic disillusionment, such as chronic community violence and racism; and traumatic loss, such as physical injury and debilitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reviews from the book jacket, 16 Jun 2000

By A Customer

With profound compassion and unerring insight into the dilemmas of trauma survivors in therapy relationships, Constance J. Dalenberg examines the complexities of therapists' transference to their patients. Dr. Dalenberg draws on literature, science and the stories of survivors and therapists to offer guidance and remedies that will surely lead to more successful therapy outcomes. Lucy Berliner, MSW, Harborview Center for Sexual Assault and Traumatic Stress.

I highly recommend this book for clinicians and trainees in the trauma field. It is an amazing combination of clinical wisdom, research data, and unexpected lyricism, applicable to approaches from psychodynamic to cognitive-behavioral. This is one of those books you really shouldn't miss. John Briere, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Southern california School of Medicine

This is an impressive book. Given the author, I expected to find what I did, which is a solid grounding in the literature an theory of her topic. I also expected, and found, her own very innovative original research on the issue of countertransference with trauma survivors. What I had not expected was that this volume would move me so powerfully. Dr. Dalenberg writes with the power of a novelist, and reading this book was a real pleasure. Her ability to disclose her own process of coming to terms with responses to trauma survivors and her ability to point out the errors made by others without coming across as judging are superb. I am thrilled to see this book, which will be very important in the field of trauma sturies and should make a valuable impact on training. Laura S. Brown, PhD, Private Practice
