[The countertransference rating system (CRS): a tool to analyse contertransference in the treatment of severe personality disorders].
This paper introduces the central role of countertransference reactions in the treatment of borderline patients in transference focused psychotherapy developed by Otto F. Kernberg. The Countertransference Rating System is presented to illustrate the diversity of the therapist's mental activities involved in his attempts to process and use reactions call to mind by borderline patient. A clinical example is presented as such as empirical evidence in support of the usefulness of the CRS and of the importance of processing countertransference reactions.
