The article reviews the ways of understanding the countertransference in currents trends of psychotherapy, including the changes and differences in its definition. Conscious of his own psychic phenomena psychotherapist can analyze countertransference during the session, the descriptive stage of material of the session and on the supervision meeting, and material transference - countertransference is one of a kind to obtain changes in the process of psychotherapy. The authors this paper assumes that the experience of countertransference occurs regardless of paradigm, in which psychotherapists invest their professional activity. Visible in the various currents trends of psychotherapy differences, concern the naming of the phenomenon and the importance attributed to the countertransference in the process of change. Sigmund Freud in The Future Prospects of Psychoanalysis described the countertransference as the transference of the analyst in response to the transference of the patient [2] as unconscious, neurotic was considered undesirable in psychotherapy. In the fifties of the twentieth century, recognized the need to broaden the definition to determine what the reactions of the therapist are: conscious, realistic and in response, not only to the transference of the patient. This article follows the evolution of the meaning of the concept of countertransference and practical implications of these changes. Way to presentation of phenomenon assumes the presence of this phenomenon in processes: emotional, cognitive and somatic.
