Here is the excerpt:
Quote:
On the more pathological side of the spectrum, Akhtar (1996) categorizes certain behavior as “malignant erotic transference” which can be described in four aspects:
(1) predominance of hostility over love in the seemingly erotic overtures;
(2) intense coercion of the analyst to indulge in actual actions;
(3) inconsolability inresponse to the analyst’s depriving stance, and
(4) the absence of erotic countertransference in the analyst, who experiences such “erotic” demands as intrusive, desperately controlling, and hostile (as cited in Litjmaer, 2004, p. 492).
Such erotic overtures may cause the therapist to resist working through such complex material and may evoke particular countertransference anxieties that Chiesa (2003) states range from “anxiety, fear, confusion, surprise, gratification, disgust, condemnation, attraction and a wish to reciprocate may all be elicited” (as cited in Rouholamin, 2007, p. 185).

This isn't the same as stalking and obsession, which can be psychotic or related to borderline, and I don't think even considered to be ET. (Which happened to me outside of therapy by a nontherapist leaving me with ptsd).
