The female analyst and the erotized transference.

E P Lester

    The International Journal of Psycho-Analysis
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study explores erotized transference in psychoanalysis, noting fewer reports of male patients with female analysts. Gender dynamics significantly influence transference, with male patients potentially inhibited by pre-oedipal fantasies.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalytic theory
    • Psychology
    • Psychotherapy

    Background:

    • Erotized transference, a concept from Freudian psychoanalysis, is examined.
    • The literature shows a scarcity of documented cases of male patients experiencing erotized transference towards female analysts.

    Observation:

    • The gender of the analyst and the sexual orientation of the analyst-patient dyad may qualitatively impact transference dynamics.
    • The study focuses on erotized transference to female analysts to explore these gender-related differences.

    Findings:

    • Male patients may experience inhibited erotic urges towards female analysts due to pre-oedipal maternal fantasies.
    • Female patients appear to express erotic feelings more freely in transference to their analysts.

    Implications:

    • Understanding gender's role in transference is crucial for effective psychoanalytic treatment.
    • These findings suggest distinct patterns in erotized transference based on patient and analyst gender.
