Problem: Hello Class!
Hope you are enjoying the reading and videos for Psychoanalytic Therapy! For discussions moving forward, each theory will have one to two specific questions I would like y'all to focus on (see the questions below). I will ask for you to post on some of the questions, and some questions might be more thought provoking questions for yourself, and not to answer in the open forum. I also ask that y'all engage with other classmates posts (you all have been doing a great job with this), as we are not having the formal classroom setting, I feel that this engagement helps us to connect and have conversations around the theories.
Transference can allow clients to explore parallels between their past and current experiences; and understanding their dynamics. What value would you place on exploring transference with a client? What skills might you need to work on within yourself while doing this?
(Do not post answer, I want you to think about this, but to also respect your own privacy and respect other people's own history, I am asking not to have an open forum on it specifically due to possible content warnings and triggers for self and others) What is one topic area that has the potential to trigger countertransference for you? How can you identify your countertransference reactions? How can you best manage your countertransference in the moment with a client, and then in a more long-term way? Need Assignment Help?
My question is to answer the question 1 and 2
