Interpreting the Countertransference

by Lawrence E. Hedges

Hedges boldly studies countertransference as a critical tool for therapeutic understanding. “Hedges clearly and beautifully delineates the components and forms of countertransference and explicates the technique of carefully proffered countertransference informed interventions… [He takes the view] that all countertransferences, no matter how much they belong to the analyst, are unconsciously evoked by the patient.” –James Grotstein, M.D. Contributing Anthony Brailow, Karen K. Redding, and Howard Rogers. Selected as one of the notable contributions to psychoanalysis during its first century –Elisabeth Young-Bruehl and Christine Dunbar (2009).
