"Countertransference and transference create the interpersonal relationship which forms the core of effective therapy. Until recently, studies have focused on transference; countertransference remained neglected and often times negated as an undesirable influence in the therapeutic process.The emphasis that psychology of the self has placed on the therapistÕs emotional responses as a factor in the integration or fragmentation of the patientÕs self has enhanced the current lively discussion on the technical use of countertransference. Thus, countertransference and transference are both seen as pivotal forces in therapy."
