Abstract

This paper considers individual psychotherapy with bulimic patients with borderline personality disorder and the feelings that may be engendered in the therapist during the course of treatment. It suggests that intense countertransference reactions are likely to be experienced and that, if the therapist is able to tolerate and process these feelings, they can be a powerful tool in treatment.
