Countertransference Analysis and the Use of Feeling in Psychoanalytic Technique
Book • 2012
Paul Geltner's "Emotional Communication" revolutionizes the understanding of countertransference in psychoanalysis.
It challenges the traditional view that countertransference is merely the analyst's subjective response, proposing instead that it's a form of communication from the patient.
The book introduces a systematic approach to analyzing countertransference, categorizing it into distinct types and providing detailed clinical examples.
Geltner emphasizes the importance of emotional communication in the therapeutic process, highlighting how the analyst's feelings can be used to understand and address the patient's unmet needs.
This work offers a comprehensive framework for psychoanalytic practice, enriching the field with a nuanced perspective on the therapeutic relationship.
