The American Psychological Association task force on empirically supported therapy relationships defined countertransference (CT) management (i.e., awareness of CT) as a "promising" element in psychotherapy research. The present study aimed to examine how changes in therapist CT and awareness of CT relate to therapy process and outcome. The data analysis was based on 41 treatments and used the core conflictual relationship theme to measure CT. We found that changes in therapists' Wishes from the relationship with the patient at the beginning of therapy were related to patients' working alliance and symptom changes at the end of treatment. Changes in therapist awareness of CT moderated the relationship between therapists' wishes from the therapy and patients' symptom changes during therapy. Last, we present a case study and discuss how awareness of CT can help the therapist handle the challenges that arise from it. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

反移情的变化以及患者工作联盟和结果的变化：一项实证研究。


美国心理学会实证支持治疗关系工作组将反移情 （CT） 管理（即对 CT 的认识）定义为心理治疗研究中“有前途”的要素。本研究旨在检查治疗师 CT 的变化和对 CT 的认识与治疗过程和结果的关系。数据分析基于 41 种治疗，并使用核心冲突关系主题来测量 CT。我们发现，治疗师在治疗开始时与患者的关系中 Wishes 的变化与患者的工作联盟和治疗结束时的症状变化有关。治疗师对 CT 的认识变化调节了治疗师对治疗的愿望与患者在治疗期间的症状变化之间的关系。最后，我们提供了一个案例研究，并讨论了对 CT 的认识如何帮助治疗师应对由此产生的挑战。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
