The Therapist and the Erotic

Pages 260-261 | Published online: 28 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

Patients in therapy may displace their felt need for maternal holding onto a need for sex and then present in a sexually provocative manner. In response, the confused therapist may confront the patient for playing games while other therapists may exploit the situation. The author suggests that the appropriate response of the ethical and informed therapist is to treat the patient's confusion.
