Abstract
Therapists experience added strain attempting to form a treatment relationship with students of different races and cultures than they. Therapist feelings of estrangement and anxiety, typical in this work, can contribute to countertransferential pitfalls, but race and ethnicity can also facilitate powerful transferential reactions that provide a useful way to access a client's difficulties and advance the treatment process. The author addresses common countertransference reactions and reviews some major psychoanalytic research on cross-cultural and interracial psychotherapy.
