Opis

Treating patients who develop erotic transferences and working with one's own erotic countertransference create treatment and professional vulnerabilities for the therapist. Discussing sexual or loving feelings in therapy, while risky, can deepen or create emotional intimacy that no other aspect of human relatedness can accomplish. Clinical illustrations of various erotic dynamics between patient and therapist are presented as the author explores this important dimension of practice.
