    The evolution in our understanding of the effects of countertransference on therapeutic work has been substantial, from the early belief that it was an interference to the more current view that it is a valuable treatment tool. Racker, Spotnitz, and others clarified the difference between countertransference and countertransference resistance, and explicated the use of countertransference data in understanding the patient’s dynamics. The arousal of countertransference is particularly intense when working with narcissistic patients, and it requires that analysts identify and work through the narcissism in their own personalities.

    We will discuss case material, demonstrating the use of induced feelings in understanding the countertransference, to elucidate countertransference-based clinical interventions that either promote or impede progressive communication and the resolution of resistances.
