This book deals with the nitty-gritty of understanding why countertransference remains an on-going challenge for psychotherapists and psychoanalysts. Over the years the emphasis has moved from theoretical disapproval to potential clinical advantage. This advantage is in practice often hard to achieve, sometimes due to the fear of the closeness in the psychoanalyst as much as in the patient. This thorough and thoughtful book will help students and more seasoned practitioners understand the way differing trends in understanding countertransference connect, relate and sometimes contradict. It aims to provide practical insight into the way countertransference experiences can be grasped, worked through and then worked with to powerful and good effect in the clinical work.

Hinshelwood, Robert D.: - Following his medical training at the time of the anti-psychiatry movement, Bob Hinshelwood started working as a psychiatrist in London in 1966. He worked in the NHS for 30 years, as well as having a part-time practice as a psychoanalyst since 1975, when he qualified with the British Psychoanalytical Society. He has contributed to the therapeutic community movement, including taking the role of Director of the Cassel Hospital. And was from 1997, Professor at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, until 2015. From 1989, thanks to Free Association Books and Bob Young he began an academic interest in psychoanalysis. This led to the publication of the well-known Dictionary of Kleinian Thought. This interest has led him to write on many clinical and academic topics, including research on psychiatric and psychoanalytic ethics, on the contributions of psychoanalysis to political thinking, and he has maintained a continuous interest in the application of psychoanalytic ideas to social science. He has also published papers on the history of psychoanalysis, and was jointly responsible with Andrea Sabbadini in stating the Journal Psychoanalysis and History. Despite now being retired from the public service, he is in demand as a speaker and supervisor and travels widely giving talks and workshops, as well as supervising clinicians by skype from his home in Norfolk.
