Love in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, as well as the crossing of boundaries in the therapeutic relationship through sexual abuse, are two areas that remain taboo. Transference love has been a hallmark of psychoanalysis from the very beginning; however, psychoanalysts and psychotherapists repeatedly fall prey to their sexual countertransference by transforming it into a real sexual relationship. When narcissistic grandiose fantasies and sexualized power are acted out against dependents, it always has catastrophic consequences, often for both parties involved. In the present book, Mathias Hirsch addresses the spectrum of love in the therapeutic relationship and the crossing of its boundaries. The perpetrator-victim dynamics are explored, along with parallels to familial sexual abuse and sexual exploitation in reform pedagogical contexts.
