Yes, to me "seductive" implies an intent to entrap/seduce. Which at least in my situation was not the case, nor was it exclusive to the therapy situation. For example I have had super powerful maternal transference with my massage therapist, my riding coach, and one of my old bosses. Pretty much give me an older female and let me speak one on one with her and I'll develop maternal transference.
If you wanted to call it "conducive to attachment" I'd say yes. Definitely conducive to attachment.
But for me, again, that means "one on one with an older female", which is pretty broad.
And reliant on non-therapy issues.
I believe I could be in therapy with a male, a female more than 20 years older than myself, or younger than myself, and the same therapy situation would not cause transference at all.
Of course,* I *specifically sought out a T in a certain gender and age range ....because well, those are my issues.
