Abstract

The rational and irrational aspects of fear in the countertransference will be discussed. Arguments are presented for the potent force of fear in personality development and psychotherapy hitherto underemphasized in the literature. Manifestations of unacknowledged fear in clinical settings are identified and discussed. Recommendations are made for dealing with rational and irrational fears. These include supervision and interpretation in the case of irrational fear and effective security in the case of rational fear.
