S. Gabel et J. Bemporad, VARIATIONS IN COUNTERTRANSFERENCE REACTIONS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH CHILDREN, American journal of psychotherapy, 48(1), 1994, pp. 111-119
The traditional model of countertransference considers mainly therapis
t reactions to particular characteristics of their child patients. A b
roader model of countertransference is discussed here in which therapi
st reactions toward the child may be displaced onto the parent(s) or t
herapist reactions to the parent(s) may be acted upon in the treatment
of the child.
