Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship
explores the most intimate elements of the psychoanalytical relationship--the erotic feelings and fantasies that patients and therapists often experience towards one another. David Mann challenges the traditional view that
transference and countertransference are forms of resistance which threaten the therapeutic process and argues that they are potentially a powerful source of creative transformation.
found Mann's book very enjoyable reading and his concepts useful and refreshing to my clinical work (
