We are planing a empirical research about monitoring (working alliance and outcome) in the field of family therapy.
Dear Egon,
I wonder if the following resources would interest you:
- The Countertranference Questionnaire by Carolyn Zittel Conklin
- Using the Inventory of Countertransference Behavior as an observer-rated measure by Jairo N. Fuertesa, Charles J. Gelsob, Jesse J. Owenc and David Cheng

Dear Egon, I too would suggest the Countertransference Questionnaire, and especially its later development, the Therapist Response Questionnaire. This is a relatively brief measure filled by clinicians, which has good reliability and convergent validity, and it may also be useful in clinical practice (for example, as the research director of a clinical centre, I have included it to assess the responses of young clinicians to their patients, usually between the 8th and 12th sessions, which also help me with their supervision). I attach here a recent paper on this measure.
Dear Stephen and Adriano,
Thank you for yor helpful contributions.
In adddition to this, do you know any time inexpensive scales (circumplex models etc.) for a weekly routine use for therapists?
greetings Egon
Hi, Egon. I second Stephen's suggestion of the ICB. There are two validated forms: one is self-report (Friedman & Gelso, 2000, The development of the inventory
of countertransference behavior, Journal of Clinical Psychology, 56, 1221–
1235), and the other is observer report, which is the version Stephen cited. If assessing trauma-related countertransference, another option might be the Assessment of Countertransference Scale, which was created specifically for therapists working with trauma patients (de Moura Silveira Júnior E, Planczyk GH,Eizirik M, Hauck S, Laks Eizirik C, Freitas Ceitlin LH. Trauma and countertransference: development and validity of the Assessment of Countertransference Scale Rev Bras Psiquiatr 2012; 34:201-206.)
Hello!
I think that if you want measure countertransference, it's previously necessary to say what is countertransference for you! If countertransference is something regarding the unconscious reaction of the therapist to the unconscious of the patient, how could be possible measure unconscious? Or you mean as countertransference something not unconscious? In the case it's really countertransference?

Dear Patricia and Luca:
Thank you for your contributions.
For disambiguation: I use the term countertransference in following subsequent meaning:
Countertransference = appropriate complementary or concordant response to the transfer of the patient.
As we carry out a study with weekly session-monitoring (parents and the index-children-adolescents), we would like to capture the concordant or complementary responses of therapists with little effort (as SASB circimplex model etc.).
The main question is: Has anyone experience with such time-economic (weekly) session related assessments?
greetings Egon
Dear Egon,
Just in case you haven't come across them already, here attached are 2 recent papers addressing countertransference as an object of empirical science, and reviewing different instruments available to try to explore/measure it
Kind regards,
Tess
