Sample text

Money-Kyrle’s account of normal countertransference is to some extent equivalent to the definition of transference, in so far as it relates to the analyst’s early childhood relationships that are now impinging on the encounter with the patient. However, the difference between normal countertransference and transference is that it can be used as a form of empathy if the analyst has some conscious awareness of it and can contain it in the interest of the patient. Money-Kyrle appears to imply that normal countertransference interferes with the analytic process when it remains outside of the analyst’s awareness and is too akin to the patient’s transference.

CONTEMPORARY VIEWS OF COUNTERTRANSFERENCE 35 The creation of strong security measures to protect staff from threatening and potentially harmful situations is also cited as an example of how psychiatric staff attempt to harness omnipotent control from psychotic patients. These security precautions are generally put in place after patients have attempted to deal with their extreme anxiety and anger by acting out their omnipotent fantasies. In his important text Schur also highlights the fact that the psychological issues and implications that underlie staff members’ practical attempts to deal with these ongoing, critically stressful conditions are rarely, if ever, explored.

This is what Bion means by normal projective identification – the mother/analyst’s capacity to empathize with the baby’s/patient’s turbulence and disarray by allowing this to wash over, or indeed through, them without reacting and then returning it in a more meaningful and bearable form. Bion advised analysts to develop a state of mind towards their patients that is free from memory or desire (1970) – an injunction that may be considered to be the equivalent of the mother’s state of reverie. By relinquishing memory and desire, the analysts can free themselves to be with the patient in the immediate situation, and give themselves also the mental space to be aware of their own reciprocal experience.
