This article examines countertransference in the assessment and treatment of recovery from traumatic incidents of adulthood, specifically re. victims of violent crime. It reviews impediment theory, empathic strain, vicarious traumatization, Wilson and Lindy's avoidance vs. overidentification types, and proposes communicative as a Type III with a totalistic perspective integrating splitting, projection, projective identification, and intersubjectivity.

This article examines transference in the assessment and treatment of adult trauma, especially re. victims of violent crime. To foster treating the individual rather than a diagnosis, such as PTSD, it proposes the term violence-based parataxic distortion (V-PD) to differentiate between projections and distortions based on traumatic experiences of the crime as distinct from transference reactions that relate to past object relationships, specifically re. early development, and self-organization.
