Reply to "Resolving Impasses in Therapeutic Relationships"

russMember

TN,

When I was seeing my T's backup T this summer, he told me it was not unusual for a person involved in an intense psychotherapy to periodically see a 2nd therapist as a way to gain some perspective on and/or resolve impasses in the primary relationship. In fact, he said that it's probably not done enough.

Does the book discuss if the third party helps to analyze conflicts in terms of transference and/or projection? I know that was one of the things I talked about with bakT and it was very helpful.

I'm interested to hear more about the book when you have had a chance to finish it.

I hope things are going OK with the new T.
