  • Title: Erotic transference in the male adolescent-female analyst dyad.
    Author: Atkinson S, Gabbard GO.
    Journal: Psychoanal Study Child; 1995; 50():171-86. PubMed ID: 7480402.
    Abstract:
    Erotic transference involving female analysts and adult male patients has received increased attention in the past ten years. Absent from the literature, however, are any clinical reports concerning erotic transferences of adolescent male patients with female therapists. This paper presents a fragment of a treatment involving an adolescent male patient who developed an erotic transference. The vicissitudes of the transference, as well as his relationship to his mother and father, are discussed from the perspective of developmental conflicts and tasks of adolescence. The countertransference dimensions of this particular gender constellation are also examined from the standpoint of intrapsychic and cultural factors.
