COUNTERTRANSFERENCEISSUES 21 To put the matter briefly, the intense narcissism of adolescents and their rapidly-changing feelings and attitudes create particular dimculties for the therapist in containing them emotionally.

Adolescents often have a fragile relationship with reality and regress easily, while they also manifest an Inclination towards acting and acting-out.
