  1. The Therapist: Transference and Transparency

  2. Is transference analysis the only task of a group therapist? • What place does it hold in group therapy? • What would be your approach? • (Consider vignettes on page 191) • Also see page 192 regarding issues with transference

  3. Therapists in the group remind members of • 1.task at hand • 2.the adult or teacher • Therefore, group members will have their own perception and reactions regarding wanting to be special in the eyes of the adult. • Hence, a clinician may seek equality.

  4. Due to transference, therapists are granted superpowers even when they make mistakes. • Simultaneously, they will appreciate when they each require help from the therapist. • But, the therapist is not omniscient = paradox

  5. When they want a omniscient therapist • they will deskill themselves • They deskill self or therapist and attack therapist out of being disillusioned • Hence, it appears that as you have a group of people the group seeks a leader = social microcosm

  6. Two major approaches to facilitate transference resolution • Consensual validation • (when encourage toward the therapist leads to stage two) • Increased therapist transparency

  7. Fear of escalation • P209 when receiving feedback • Therapist disclosure = is of the here and now • See Allan study p209
