- W293348799 abstract "In the following article, the psychoanalytic emphasis on working within transference and countertransference with patients will be illustrated by engaging the case material presented in M. Huffman's Case of Mr. P. Within this frame, contemporary understandings of transference-countertransference are put forth that recognize the transformative potential of this co-constructed, lived, and dynamic space within and between the analyst and patient. It is argued that the analyst's attunement to his or her own countertransferential response provides the possibility of a restorative love to develop within the relationship. The article concludes with some theoretical and theological considerations behind these processes. Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need. -Psalm 79:8 Jesus tells us to love one another as He has loved us. The patient, Mr. P (described in the vignette around which this symposium is oriented), knows this, and like all of us tries to live a wholesome, loving life. Yet, the good he would do does not happen. Although Mr. P is successful in those traditional markers of masculine ability - good at sports, business management, and making money - he crashes into bitter, angry pieces when he tries to set up a life of good human relations and a marriage of love. His first wife betrays him, he loses himself in alcohol and pornography, and he re -marries for love only to betray this beloved wife who nearly leaves him. His secretary walks out without notice. He is in a rage. He tries the solutions he knows how to do over and over again - be reasonable and work hard - but improvement, forgiveness and love seem hopelessly out of reach. We can say more. Mr. P. knows that he is treating women in his life as did his father, an alcoholic who failed at business and abused Mr. P's mother in front of him (as well as abusing the children). Mr. P's childhood home, his therapist, Dr. J tells us, had no warmth. Mr. P knows these things, knows he is somehow turning into his father and failing to create warmth, but this knowledge does not help, does not allow him to transform his destructive patterns into the good that is sought. Where is transformative help to be found? How can the invisible powers or processes that seem to be in control of his out-of-control life be named and changed? One primary means of transformative help that a psychoanalytic psychologist uses in treatment is the transference/countertransference relationship. Transference was an original discovery of early psychoanalysis: that patients over time revive and relive with their therapist the patterns of relationships and private emotional crises of the first loves of their life, usually parents but also siblings and important other figures (Freud, 1914/1958). We have come to understand transference as the patient's unconscious, holistic communication, through verbal, but even more so, through non-verbal means, of the places where love is stuck inside the patient and is not free to be lived. For early analytic therapists this was a strange event. That is, the patient's feelings and actions were pointed at you, yet it both was you (because you are who they are doing this to), and yet it is not really you, the therapist, that they are angry at, in love with, attacking, or negating (Mitchell, 1988). An emotional focus emerges on the therapist and the therapist must, to stay in emotional contact with the patient, be in this emotional relation. Yet of course, the therapist knows that he is not really emotionally mistreating the patient, putting the patient down or failing to see him, just like the patient's father had. The therapist knows, in fact, that he is trying to emotionally treat the patient as a friend of Christ, deserving of respect and love. During the later 1900's, psychoanalytic therapists, such as the British psychologists Klein, Bion and Winnicott, realized that transference, or the emotional projection of early relational patterns on the therapist, was only half the story. …" @default.
