• Gain knowledge and insight to counter-transferences reactions 1 and 2, which occur when working with this vulnerable population. Role-playing will be used to help develop skills and strategies to manage counter-transferences. Learning to manage anxiousness working with this population, impulse, and other counter-transferences will be key aspects of the role play. Also, we will review the transfer reactions that occur with the client.
