  • Title: Countertransference dilemmas with borderline patients. The contribution of psychological testing.
    Author: Shectman F.
    Journal: Bull Menninger Clin; 1989 Jul; 53(4):310-8. PubMed ID: 2752224.
    Abstract:
    Although originally regarded pejoratively, countertransference has come to be viewed as an indispensable clinical tool, especially in the treatment of borderline patients. These patients typically evoke powerful negative experiences in their therapists. Psychological testing can help treaters go beyond such limiting (if not disruptive) reactions to achieve a constructive use of countertransference with borderline patients.
