Overview

Dalenberg provides examples from her own experiences as a therapist as well as that of others gathered in an experimental study at the Trauma Research Institute in La Jolla, California (where she's director) to illustrate her discussion on the phenomenon of countertransference. Dalenberg discusses the results of disclosing countertransference, the inadequacy of language in trauma treatment, and the countertransference response to a wide range of patient-therapist interactions. The text's audience will be primarily psychotherapists.
