AB - Countertransference includes counselor’s unconscious feelings, fantasies,
and often exaggerated responses toward the client due to unresolved issues
within the counselor. Like with transference, the presence of countertranference
is an important sign of personal involvement of the counselor with
the client. However, without acknowledgement of its presence or of its
meanings, countertransferece may endanger the counseling relationship of
trustthat facilitates process of healing. Countertransference may also explain
interpersonal dynamics of pastoral relationship in ministry. It deepens pastor's
mutual self-understanding in ministry and signals for professional help when it
seriously threatens pastoral relationship. Christian spirituality can help the
pastor illuminate the contents of countertransference and its background; it
provides resources for the understanding and transcendence of the self's
unresolved needs in the face of the client. Christian spirituality provides
plenary religious resources for self-reflection, transformation, and selftranscendence
of the pastor for the service of God’s people without threatening
or compromising in the professional helping relationship.
