title: Anxiety in the psychotherapist.
abstract: The universality of anxiety-producing situations for professionals who conduct psychotherapy is evident from a survey of 88 practicing psychotherapists whose responses are summarized by the author. The therapist's anxieties are viewed in terms of threatened loss of control, loss of relationship, injury to or loss of competence, and guilt feelings or loss of self-esteem.
