Dreams of deceased children and countertransference in the group psychotherapy of bereved mothers: clinical illustration
This article presents, in the form of a clinical illustration, a therapeutic group of bereaved mothers with special reference to their dreams about their deceased children. The article presents descriptions of the emotions of these mothers and countertransference feelings, a topic that, to our knowledge, has not been frequently studied. The group was small, analytically oriented, slow-open, comprised of women bereaved by the death of a child, and conducted by a female therapist. Over more than three years, the group included 20 members in total. This article describes a number of dreams recorded during a period when the group included seven members. Dreams helped the group members access their emotional pain, helplessness, yearning for a relationship with the deceased, guilt, and feelings of survival guilt. The transference-countertransference relationshios were characterized by holding. Countertransference feeling of helplessness predominated. The therapist and the group as a whole contained various emotions, allowing the group members to return to the normal mourning process from the parallel encouragement of group development and interpersonal relationships.
