"Naked Therapy:" Prank, or Just Your Average Transference Addict?
Transference and countertransference during psychotherapy In a therapy context, transference refers to redirection of a patient's feelings for a significant person to the therapist. Transference is often manifested as an erotic attraction towards a therapist, but can be seen in many other forms such as rage, hatred, mistrust, parentification, extreme dependence, or even placing the therapist in a god-like or guru status. Hm... That's one way to boost the mental health industry during these times of economic duress.
