Counter control is about what others call resistance. "Counter control" is a term behavioral therapists began to use some time ago. It was a term that would be used to take the place of the term "resistance" in cetain contexts. Resistance is a concept original with Freud. The approach Control Matery Theory uses to undertand so-called resistance is quite unlike that of most other approaches since CMT looks to discover the patient's unconscious plan and the therapist then develops pro-plan interventions. CMT offers important alternatives to the concept of resistance as it is traditionally understood in psychoanalysis and as it is understood in behavioral therapy using terms like "counter control." If you understand the patient's unconscious plan, then so-called resistance or counter control take on quite different meanings. Have you studied HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS by Joseph Weiss? To really appreciate the inisghtfulness of the CMT approach to resistance, it is important to study at least this book.
