TL; DR. I skimmed it briefly.

Frankly I find such discussions of the clinical "handling of" and "working with" erotic desire and impulses rather sickening.

Apparently there is something called “malignant erotic transference”. That is some serious pathologizing and medicalizing of most fundamental needs.

Don't these people have anything better to do?

BTW why is client behavior labeled "transference" and therapist behavior "countertransference"? They are both just transference. Seems a blatant means for establishing hierarchy and control.
Thanks for this!
