I am taking a class in human sexuality and our next paper is to be on any topic of interest in regards to sex. I have decided to do my paper on erotic transference and countertransference. I just ordered two books from amazon.com. I cannot wait to start researching this. I will, of course, update you all with any interesting findings.

Ahhhh, there is nothing like erotic transference to help you see the light at the end of a tunnel in a depression.

Eeeek, time for bed.

I was told to stop therapy with my pdoc because of the erotic transference. Too close. :-(

pink... is this going to be x-rated? i am interested in what you uncover, the topic is one that i am wanting to know more about. If you find anything that talks about what to do about it let me know. i had two instances of it and it just nevers goes away, you just learnt to live around it... can we get to read some of your paper maybe?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">I think maybe I had some of it early in therapy. But it did go away. I thought about T and therapy every waking minute. I looked at pics of him all the time on my computer. I searched out information on him on the Internet. Kind of like the flush of new love. But I passed through that really intense, almost obsessive phase and came out the other side with a really strong relationship with a lot of love and trust. I am never jealous of his wife or other clients and never have been. Maybe I needed to go through that more obsessive phase in order to attach so strongly to him? Anyway, I think it is possible to have some transference and then move beyond it.

Pinksoil, I will be interested to hear what you find out with your research. What books did you order from Amazon? I have seen a book there about erotic transference and it has a pic of a really scary, leering woman on it. Did you get that one? Errrrrotic Transference

ETA: here is the link to that book (please note I've never read this book so this is not a recommendation!):

Pink, I am sitting on the edge of my seat! This is still an untouched area in my therapy. I need to get over this first intense wave.

I use to want to be T's lover. She and I both female, and I'm a middle aged married mother and she is a middle aged mother. Eventually the "eroticism" faded, as my emotional needs got met. Can you imagine a 3yr old having consious sexual feelings? Mix that with the attachment needs a child has and it all becomes a real mix of feelings. I think thats all thats about, the 3yr inside us also now has adult sexual awareness and attachment triggers all, its not really a "i love you truely" sexual thing, its just like being touched in the right place by anyone blindfolded and the body will respond??

Hahaha, Sunny that is the one I got! The leering woman, yes. I also got: Psychotherapy-- An Erotic Relationship--Transference and Countertransference by David Mann. He has written quite a few books on the subject.
