Reflections on Erskine, Sills, and Cornell

Abstract

In this article, the author responds briefly to the careful analyses written by Erskine (2001), Sills (2001), and Cornell (2001) about her case study of erotic transference (Hargaden, 2001). She reflects on how this process has deepened her understanding and yet allowed her to remain open to various conclusions.
