The Wounded Healer

Counter-Transference from a Jungian Perspective

Beschreibung

Countertransference is an important part of the analytical process. It is concerned with the analyst's emotional response to the patient. As such, it can be a particularly difficult aspect of the analytical setting and 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 and shows how to use the countertransference in a positive way. The result is one of the finest Jungian clinical texts of recent years.

Autor

David Sedgwick is a Jungian analyst in Charlottesville, Virginia, and is also a clinical psychologist and assistant professor at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Jung and Searles: A comparative study.

Rezensionen

'The Wounded Healer really is a 'classic'! The descriptions in depth of what the patient means to the analyst are as fresh, dynamic, moving and instructive now as they were twenty five years ago. Sedgwick, as much as anyone, is responsible for making sure that Jungian analysis is recognised as a pioneering strand in the emergence of psychotherapy as a relational enterprise. The book will be of interest to all clinicians, whether Jungian or not.' - Professor Andrew Samuels, co-editor of Relational Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis and Counselling: Appraisals and Reappraisals (Routledge, 2014).
