The group was an exercise group, which incorporated elements of dance therapy and social work. Beginning with a review of the literature on countertransference, the two major schools of thought are discussed, as well as countertransference with borderline patients, and countertransference in the dance therapy literature. Specific countertransferential material is presented and explored in terms of the population, the therapeutic modalities, the level of expertise of the clinician, and the hospital setting. Recommendations are outlined for clinicians working with similar populations which evoke intense countertransference reactions.</p>"}
