Countertransference and Older Clients – Bonnie Genevay (Paperback / Soft Cover)

The theme of the book is that professionals who work with the old, the disabled and the dying need to confront their own fears of growing old and helpless, of dying and the unknown, as well as their need for control and professional omnipotence, and the need to be needed. This examination of the totality of feeling experienced by the therapist toward the client is regarded as an important therapeutic tool and the basis for empathy and deeper understanding of both the older client’s and the helper’s own processes. Many cases are woven throughout the book to illustrate how practitioners can use their own feelings and behaviour to work with clients more effectively.
