Historical, clinical, and conceptual remarks are presented regarding countertransference and the theory of psychoanalytic technique, preliminary to and in the context of discussing the contributions to the panel, “countertransference in Theory and Practice” (Tyson, 1984; Loewald, 1984; Jacobs, 1984; Dewald, unpublished).
