Erotized transference in the male patient-female therapist dyad.
Little has been published regarding male patients' erotic transferences to female therapists. It has been suggested that male patients do not develop full erotic transferences and rarely experience erotized transferences. The author presents a case report documenting erotization in a male patient-female therapist dyad and reviews current theories on the etiology, therapeutic significance, and treatment strategies indicated for such a transference.
