Erotized Transference in the Male Patient–Female Therapist Dyad

Martha B. Koo, M.D.

Received October 7, 1999; revised August 3, 2000; accepted August 24, 2000. Address correspondence to Dr. Koo, 509 N. Sepulveda Boulevard, Suite 202, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.

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.

Key Words: Transference/Countertransference • Gender
