“…Obviously, one aspect of the supervision of self-disclosure is conveying to the candidate some idea of the clinical meaning of analyst selfdisclosure generally. In this regard, there are many excellent reviews (Meissner 2002;Schill 2004;Renik 1999;Tansey and Burke 1989;Burke and Tansey 1991). Focused clinical discussions of self-disclosure are also to be found, notably an issue of Psychoanalytic Inquiry in which the clinical implications of self-disclosure are discussed from various theoretical viewpoints (Hanly 1998;Marcus 1998;Miletic 1998;Orange and Stolorow 1998;Rosenblum 1998).…”

A conceptual framework is presented for thinking about supervisory issues raised by candidate self-disclosure. The process of dealing with self-disclosure in supervision brings into bold relief certain dynamics that operate in all supervisory encounters. In responding to these and other tensions stirred by analyst self-disclosure, the supervisory dyad moves in and out of various configurations, or "modes of supervisory interaction." Why these dynamics are intensified when the focus of supervision is on an instance of candidate self-disclosure is explored. To illustrate these ideas, a supervisory hour that dealt with the issue of self-disclosure is presented. A nonjudgmental awareness of the various modes of supervisory interaction enriches the supervisory process.

“…In our opinion, the first attempt to find a solution to this situation can be seen in the debate on the concept of countertransference (Burke and Tansey 1991) in the 1950s. Analysts of that era, who had been trained according to the ego psychology model, discovered-at first with a feeling of uneasiness and then with increasing interest-that countertransference encompassed more than Freud (1910Freud ( , 1912 had described.…”

Locating the concept of the third in the debate about countertransference that began in the 1950s, the authors maintain that it originated to solve problems stemming from the recognition that the analytic encounter takes place between two individual subjects. This recognition can lead to discomfort for the analyst, once objective criteria to interpret reality have been lost due to adhesion to a dialectical constructionist perspective; it also implies a deeper involvement arising from the abandonment of neutrality. The concept of the third is often invoked to help avoid these risks. However, the authors maintain that only the human subject itself can grasp the self reflexively; this view has a referent in the Hegelian concept of self-consciousness and is also supported by the findings of infant research.

“…Among the psychological theories used to explain the complex relationship between practitioner and patient, Freud's (1926) theory of ‘countertransference’ is one of the most recognised. Both Freud and Annie Reich's conception of countertransference was as a pathological obstacle to therapy (Burke & Tansey, ), but over time, the concept broadened to encompass a practitioner's total reaction to a client or patient in a therapeutic situation. Later, more positive interpretations of countertransference emerged, suggesting that when properly understood and managed, transference and countertransference can provide valuable insights into the patient's inner world (Racker, ) and positively inform patient care and patient management (Yakeley, ).…”

Practitioners working with disturbed and neglected children and young people face many practical and personal challenges, including countertransference and secondary trauma reactions. One underexplored area is the practitioner requirement to negotiate with children's parents and to process feelings towards both parents and children. We explore the experiences of female counsellors and psychologists working with children and young adults in the UK mental health care sector, using an inductive thematic analysis. While participants spoke positively about their vocation and satisfaction gained from acting as an agent of change in young people's lives, they also related highly intense emotional work and traumatic accounts, using powerful metaphors to convey the impact of hearing and processing stories, indicating vicarious trauma effects and a strong parental invocation in therapists, including maternal feelings towards some children ('vicarious parenting'). Some parents were cast as potentially harming a child and obstructing the professional's work. Our paper fleshes out vicarious parenting as a particular form of countertransference.
