It can be demanding for psychotherapists to manage the intense and complex relational dynamics that occur in the therapeutic relationship when working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. This study examines how psychoanalytic psychotherapists experience, make sense of, and use transference-countertransference enactments in their work with adults who have a history of childhood sexual abuse. Qualitative data were collected through face-to-face semistructured interviews and then analyzed using the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis method (Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009). Results indicate four types of transference-countertransference role enactments, which conform to Davies and Frawley's (1994) conception of four transference-countertransference relational matrices: (a) the unseen, neglected child and the unseeing, neglectful adult; (b) the abuser and the victim; (c) the rescuer and the one in need of rescue; and (d) the seducer and the seduced; erotic transference and countertransference. In addition, the data revealed ways in which these enactment experiences were useful to the treatment using the concepts of projective identification, interpretation, and examination of the nonverbal.
