Abstract:
(Show)
Two psychoanalysts reflect on how their practice of Zen has affected their work as psychotherapists. They focus particularly on the realm of "countertransference," a term used to designate when the psychoanalyst reacts emotionally or gets emotionally involved in the therapeutic interaction. The authors offer a general background of Buddhism and discuss a case study. (Zach Rowinski 2005-03-10)
