My new T even told me that his T friend automatically refers clients if he finds out they have transference going on  (erotic, I assume). He said he was trying to discourage his friend from this pov...I think his T friend needs more therapy of his own. Ugh. |
Really? So this is probably something of a modern age. I think in the past, probably because therapy was more of the classical type, they all dealt with erotic transference because they realized that it came with the territory. I mean - a long time ago, probably up until the 1990s. I am not positive though.
So your T's T friend automatically refers clients to... others. And what if the referred client then develops transference AGAIN? Would he/she be referred AGAIN? When will this road end?..
