Abstract
Countertransference is a constant occurrence in the therapeutic interaction between psychotherapist and patient. This article provides a brief discussion of countertransference and explores the particular challenges psychotherapists encounter when working with bereaved patients. A clinical vignette describes the dangers of unconscious defense against the experience of loss and emphasizes the importance of recognizing grieving as a natural and restorative process. Adapted from the source document.
