Teaching Psychiatric Trainees to Respond to Sexual and Loving Feelings: The Supervisory Challenge

Nancy A. Bridges, LICSW, BCD

Received August 7, 1997; revised November 21, 1997; accepted November 26, 1997. From the Cambridge Hospital, Cambridge; Harvard Medical School, Boston; and Smith College School for Social Work, Northampton, Massachusetts. Address correspondence to Ms. Bridges, 135 School Street, Belmont, MA 02178.

The intimate nature of the psychodynamic psychotherapy process requires that trainees be educated to deal competently with sexual and loving feelings that arise during psychotherapy. The absence of substantive teaching on these complex treatment issues places a responsibility on the psychotherapy supervisor to educate trainees about the erotic aspects of transference/countertransference. A model of supervision addressing sexual feelings in treatment relationships is proposed and discussed with reference to clinical vignettes.(The Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research 1998; 7:217–226)
