Key concepts in countertransference include projective identification, role-responsiveness and countertransference enactment. It is important to recognize that countertransference can be effective in understanding the emotional intensity of the suicidal person's internal world. There is a significant relationship between treatment outcome and the different countertransference feelings among the therapists. In this paper we have illustrated important factors for understanding psychiatrist's countertransference reactions when working with suicidal patients.
