Abstract |
Transference and countertransference in treatment situations where the patient and the therapist share religious faith can be complex. This article discusses the course of therapy of a Christian woman with a history of trauma and depression by a therapist who shared her religious orientation. Counter-transference reactions shaped the therapist's responses to the patient's struggles, and eventually contributed to a new level of trust in their shared God. Language: en |
