Abstract

Characteristic countertransferences of the most important groups of psychotherapeutically relevant diseases (neurotic, psychosomatic, somatopsychic disorders, personality disorders and traumas) are presented. The choice made is derived from the long tradition of clinical description and the increasing amount of empirical evidence about the phenomenon. Even if due to the different levels on which a disease may function a mixing of different countertransferences may occur, it is suggested that a precise analysis facilitates a therapist's dealing with the various countertransference feelings and makes countertransference an important differential diagnostic tool for the daily practice.
