Summary

Desire and the Female Therapist is one of the first full length explorations of the erotic transference and countertransference from the point of view of the female therapist. Particular attention is given to the female therapist/male client relationship and the aesthetic effect of desire, made visible in art objects in analytical forms of psychotherapy. Drawing on psychoanalytic and aesthetic theory, particularly Lacan and Jung, the book offers new approach to desire in therapy.
