Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Countertransference occurs when the counselor's own unresolved conflicts are unconsciously directed or transferred to the client, resulting in positive or negative wishes, fantasies, and feelings. Transference, on the other hand, occurs when the client projects feelings and emotions onto the counselor based on their past experiences. Sublimation is a defense mechanism where an individual redirects unacceptable impulses into more socially acceptable actions. Repression is a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously blocks out unacceptable thoughts or memories. Depersonalization is a dissociative disorder where an individual experiences a detachment from themselves and their surroundings.
