Abstract(s)

Implicit and explicit psychological work to which therapists’ experiences are submitted (in and between sessions) • “something more” than managing CT – recognizing, regulating, and deriving meaning from experience • “something more” than dealing with resistances – elaboration includes both working out/working over (psychische Verarbeitung) and working through (Durcharbeitung) (McDougall, 1985) • therapists’ raw experience acquires (and increases in) mental quality and becomes available for meaning-making and judicious clinical use, involving a close interconnection and integration between implicit-spontaneous and explicit-reflective psychological processes • dialectic, transformative, integrative, contextual, and agency-enhancing process of making “clinically relevant” sense of experience leading to emergence of new meaning and new experience • countertransference (CT) understood as joint creation (Gabbard, 2001) and comprising diverse experiential components (subjective CT, objective CT, therapeutic attitude, emerging experience) (Barreto & Matos, 2016)
