Transference and Countertransference in CBT and Schematherapy of Personality Disorders

Abstract

Countertransference occurs in CBT when the relationship with the patientactivates automatic thoughts and schemas in the clinician, and these cognitionshave the potential for influencing the therapy process. Countertransferencealso occurs during supervision and is an indispensable part of the supervisor's response to the supervisee. CBT is typically short-termtreatment-intensity of transference is usually muchlower than in longer-term, dynamically oriented psychotherapy. Neverthelessduring the long-term CBT of the personality disorder or other complex cases,high intensity of transference and countertransference can develop.

Perceptions of Work Value and Ethical Practices Amongst Primary School Teachers, Demographics, Intervention, and Impact

“…This is because the organizational core and shared value set enables people to live as one in relative peace (Snyder, 2000). Ethically, it is difficult for a teacher to be exonerated from the shared work value in the teaching profession, just to accommodate personal value (Vyskocilova et al, 2015).…”

“…Primarily, cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) target life goals by changing faulty cognitive processes, behaviour, and emotional responses. These changes are often referred to as changes in work values (Vyskocilova et al, 2015). For example, a teacher who is confused by their thinking and emotions is likely to face terrible emotions and thus become a victim of negative work value in the work environment.…”

Approaching the Transference Relation in Cognitive‐Behaviourism: Applying a Lacanian Logic

“…This discourse argues that, because therapy is conducted between two real people, the total variation in human experience is permissible and decipherable. In this regard, the cognitive countertransference literature has begun to investigate the effects of countertransference reactions/enactments (Cartwright & Read, ; Hayes, Gelso & Hummel, ; Prasko et al ., ; Vyskocilova et al ., ) but there remains a high level of tolerance for, and even justification of enactment behaviour, even if it departs markedly from the basic relational principles of cognitive‐behavioural therapy (Myers & Hayes, ; Yeh & Hayes, ). Such thinking parallels somewhat the mentioned post‐Freudian psychoanalytic arguments for greater use of the analyst's transference in psychoanalytic work (Carpy, ; Levenson, ; Renik, ; Varga; ); however, it is likely to produce more varied actions in therapy, given the comparatively unregulated cognitive‐behavioural method.…”
