Abstract
As an acknowledged aspect of psychotherapy, countertransference would be an anticipated subject for discussion in clinical supervision. However, the authors' review of videotapes of 24 supervisors working with second-year residents revealed that 12 made no comments on the subject, 8 approached the subject directly, and 4 approached it indirectly. The authors discuss the reasons for this avoidance of countertransference issues and note that discussion of countertransference does not necessarily change supervision into therapy.Keywords
