title: Relational Perspectives Regarding Countertransference in Group and Trauma.
abstract: A relational/constructivist view incorporates contemporary trends toward viewing countertransference and co-transference as results of mutual intersubjective influence. It moves toward a view of the socially constructed nature of human reality, toward recognizing the therapist's as well as the members' irreducible individuality and initiative taking, and toward therapy as about meaning-making rather than scientific discovery of The Truth. General clinical examples, and examples of working specifically with trauma, are given.
