It's just me today. I thought that I would talk with you about counter-transference.

0:28.5

What is it? What is counter-transference? What are the different points of view?

0:33.1

What's the history of the construct? What's the history of the construct of counter-transference?

0:38.1

Okay, so there's really no way for me to summarize the history and philosophy of counter-transference in this podcast.

0:45.3

The history of the concept is intertwined with the history of the field, which is intertwined with the culture of the various times and places in which it was discussed.

0:55.3

So the topic is too broad to encapsulate even remotely in this podcast.

1:00.4

So please keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that if another scholar were to give a talk on counter-transference,

1:07.6

you would probably hear some similar things and you would probably hear some very different things, some very different opinions in mind.

1:16.2

Therapy and its constructs like counter-transference are very squishy topics that have to be described

1:24.0

with our very imprecise language and the experience of counter-transferences is probably different for everybody to some extent.

1:32.4

And that's why I love psychodynamic theory because it's so broad and varied and it's open to these individual philosophies.

1:40.9

All right, so anyway, let's get on with the topic.

1:43.8

As with almost everything in my field, all roads lead back to Freud.

1:48.9

Hey deserving listeners, this is an old episode that we have re-released as a patron-exclusive episode.

1:55.4
