The request for hastened death by patients with psychiatric disorders poses a professional conundrum for psychiatrists. Issues of transference and countertransference loom large in such situations. Primitive defense mechanisms, particularly projective identification need to be addressed in understanding the request.

In occupational therapy, intersubjective movements unfold between the professional and the patient at several levels: in the therapeutic relationship, through the activity and within the institution. A psychodynamic reading of these movements helps to develop working hypotheses. When the person being cared for and the occupational therapist are from different cultures, specific unconscious relational movements are at work.

[The question of cultural transference and countertransference in transcultural clinical practice].

The authors explore the group leader's considerations before removing a group member from group sessions. The authors integrate an approach that warns against a too hasty decision without considering the group-as-a-whole dynamics and the possibility of scapegoating, with the approach that looks at the group therapist's countertransference that prevents them from considering the group's best interest. The rule of thumb the authors suggest is that when a severe breach of the group agreement happens, especially continuously, and when it cannot be followed by exploration, reflection, and an agreement by the group member who violated the agreement to make an effort to avoid repeating this event, the group leader might consider removing the person from the group.
