Social:Counterwill
From HandWiki
Counterwill is a psychological term that means instinctive resistance to any sense of coercion. The term was first used by Austrian psychoanalyst Otto Rank and has been popularized by developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld.[1] In Neufeld's model, counterwill is a functional attribute of human behavior in that it protects personal boundaries and enables individuation. It has also been described as "will in reaction to the will of others".[2]
