This document discusses transference and countertransference in therapy. It defines transference as clients redirecting feelings from past relationships onto their therapist. Countertransference is the therapist's emotional response to the client. Both phenomena occur unconsciously and can help or hinder treatment, so therapists must understand and manage their own countertransference through self-reflection and supervision. The document provides examples of how transference and countertransference manifest and strategies therapists can use to address them, such as exploring the relationship dynamics in session and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Transference is often manifested as an erotic attraction towards a therapist, but can be seen in many other forms such as rage, hatred, mistrust, parentification, extreme dependence, or even placing the therapist in a god-like or guru status.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.
Brief therapy, sometimes also referred to as short term therapy (usually 10 to 20 sessions) , is a generic label for any form of therapy in which time is an explicit element in treatment planning.

There are many ways play therapy can benefit children and in this case 6 year old Claudia. As children experience trauma service providers may also have difficulty with young children and self disclosure. Here is the list that I came up with after reviewing this discussion resources in relation to how this approach can benefit:
1) Creating a safe space to explore with safety can hold children accountable for responsible behaviors while developing successful insight to harness positive strategies to cope.
2) Children can also benefit as they learn new solutions toward dealing with issues while learning skills to express new and old emotion.
3) There can be a gained awareness to self; understanding thoughts and emotions.
4) Children can learn new social skills as they work with their provider and how to relate to self through creativity. Also, gaining communication skills as they use various forms of play therapy.
5) Children may also develop an awareness toward new and old abilities using a strength-based approach toward therapy.
Another form of play therapy that I am fond of while working with children is storytelling. It isn't for all children specifically concentrating on those that feel comfortable opening up and speaking to others. Storytelling has been beneficial to me while working with children in the past as it has revealed fear and anxieties. Utilizing different platforms of storytelling, self disclosure can build various survival strategies in children as they explore different situations through actions, movements, and changes. (Chiesa, 2012, pp 5)
Overall I feel strongly play therapy in all forms whether it be art therapy, role playing, non-directive/directive play, can promote healing, through self expression of feelings. It can also encourage children to build creative ways to deal with current and future trauma, and allow the development of healthy decision-making.

Play therapy can be beneficial because Claudia is a young child who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw a mugging which caused her to be fearful, and develop anxiety. Play therapy helps the child to relax and the child is interested in playing with the toys in the sand. The sand can help the child relax and the toys can help the child create her own world. Usually, children will repeat behaviors or experiences during play. This can help the social worker assess the magnitude of trauma or abuse the child has experienced. This also makes it easier for the child to talk about their trauma or experiences. Play therapy helps children address and resolve their own problems. Play therapy helps to communica ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. In detail..
Transference is often manifested as an erotic attraction towards a
therapist, but can be seen in many other forms such as rage, hatred,
mistrust, parentification, extreme dependence, or even placing the
therapist in a god-like or guru status.
4. TRANSFERENCE IN SOCIAL
WORK
‘Transfer’ was introduced into social work literature by Jessie Taft
in1924 who described it as “an emotional relationship to the client”.
5. Hamilton defines transference as a carrying over of irrational elements
from other, relationships, particularly in the past, displaced on to the
social worker, reflecting unconscious motivation.
6. In this sense, the therapeutic relationships would be viewed as a
transference relationship, as opposed to a real relationship, thus
permitting the worker to insulate himself or herself from any true
reactions and personally meaningful interactions with the client
7. an example
A from a home where his father was an arrogant and domineering person.
As a man the client has never been able to get along with his boss or any
other figure of authority. In the case work situation, he transfers to the case
worker hostile feelings of the type of he originally felt toward hi father and
accuse the case worker of the same arrogant treatment at the hands of his
father
10. The reasons
Anxiety and social isolation may lead to the therapist being central in a
client’s life; as such they may be one of their only social contacts
Reduced opportunities for romantic interests (Asperger’s, LD, etc.)
People with ‘Borderline Personality Disorder’ or very difficult interpersonal
relationship styles, where they shift rapidly from loving and hating and see
self and others as ‘all good’ or ‘all bad.’ This can be played out in the
therapy room.
11. Continue..Clients may have low self-worth, and feel that you as the therapist are a
good role model and over identify with you.
We may be asking clients about very difficult things that evoke negative
emotions. We then may be central in re-experiencing those emotions,
almost as if we are the personification of them
12. Potential difficult outcomes in
transference
We may reject the client, or fear we will.
We May being complicit to their ‘maladaptive’ relationship patterns
We may disclose information, which we are later uncomfortable about, so
that the client is not so hurt (e.g. I am married with children)
Difficulty in managing boundaries
Therapist guilt
Breakdown in therapeutic alliance
13. USE OF TRANSFERENCE
There are three stages in dealing and using transference in social
casework. these stages are:
1. Understanding the Transference
2. Utilizing the transference.
3. Interpreting the transference.
14. Understanding the
Transference
Understanding of the transference is essential for the worker as it helps
to understand the behaviour of the client and to recognize its significance
in his development process.
It also explains the present unconscious needs of the client.
Understanding of the transference of factors i.e. the present behaviour
and problem, the environmental forces, the past experiences and earlier
relationships
15. Utilizing the transference
Utilization of the transference depends on the understanding of the
social case worker of the phenomena.
It explains many cures or treatments of emotional disturbance by life
situations and by fortune relationships with other problems
16. Interpreting the transference
The interpretation of the transference, that is, confronting the individual
with the awareness that his behaviour is the repetition of a specific
unconscious infantile is definitely part of psycho – analytical therapy and
requires is preparation of the individual by the careful analysis of his
unconscious defense
17. transference helps…
transference helps in treatment in a number of ways.
1. The mature ego strengths of the worker serve to reinforce the weak ego strengths of the client.
2. The client feels relaxed.
3. The client starts abandoning resistances.
4. He perceives the problem situation more realistically.
5. The worker , when he does not respond neurotically, helps the client to see and bear the reality.
6. Identification with the worker gradually helps the client to strengthen his ego power and capacity
for reality testing and problem solving
18. The effects of transference are many but it is the leaven of treatment,
not treatment itself.
21. COUNTER TRANSFERENCE
Relationship is a two way process.
Social case worker has also unconscious tendency to transfer out the
client.
As in the case of transference, these counter transference feelings,
both positive an negative, are unconscious but operate with force.
Therefore, it is the job of case worker to recognize his feelings and must
control them.
22. A therapist's attunement to his own counter transference is nearly as
critical as his understanding of the transference
23. For example, if a male therapist feels a very strong sexual attraction to
a female patient, he must understand this as counter transference and
look at how the client is attempting to elicit this reaction in him
24. Some reasons for counter-
transference
Client reminds us of someone we have or had strong feelings for
(positive or negative)
We over identify with them (difficulties we have resolved in the
past/similar personality/social standing/age/gender etc.)
Feeling parental towards client
Sexual attraction
( just to normalize this a bit and Pope & Tabachnik, (1993)* found that
the vast majority of therapists (87%) had been sexually attracted to at
least one if not more of their clients)
25. Potential Difficult Outcomes of
Counter-transference
Blurred boundaries
Inappropriate levels of disclosure that compounds transference
Not working with the countertransference
Not acknowledging the countertransference
Therapeutic alliance breaking down
Unable to discuss case reflectively in supervision
Reinforcing Client’s and own relationship patterns
Difficulty ending therapi
26. What can we do?
Ask yourself:
Am I responding in a way that feels like me?
Do I associate this client with anyone else?
What feelings do I have about them?
Are those feelings only those that I as a professional have towards all my clients or are
there differences?
Why am Feeling this?
How is it impacting on my work with this client?
27. What can we do?
Use supervision, more, not less
Reflective and reflexive practice is key
Accept that feelings towards a client is normal, and work with that
Talk about the relationship in the therapy room
Be consistent with boundaries
28. Conclusion
Transference and counter transference are barriers for the case work in
achieving goal. Sometimes it may help for the treatment. Here, case
worker should be conscious about it. Otherwise it may leads to break
the professional boundaries of case work.
