Erotic Transference and Counter Transference (Hardcover)

"Erotic Transference and Countertransference" brings together, for the first time, contemporary views on how psychotherapists and analysts work with and think about the erotic in therapeutic practice. Representing a broad spectrum of psychoanalytic perspectives, including object relations, Kleinian, Jungian and Lacanian thought, the contributors highlight similarities and differences in their approaches to the erotic in transference and countertransference, ranging from love and sexual desire to perverse and psychotic manifestations. "Erotic" "Transference and Countertransference" offers ways of understanding the erotic which should prove to be both useful and thought-provoking.
