This book, written with respectful insistence and a constant smile between the lines, should encourage a discussion about the analyst's desires and their erotic countertransference. A deeper exploration of this topic would benefit all therapeutic schools. This book describes the story of love as it can only develop within the framework of what we call psychoanalysis—Sigmund Freud referred to it as transference love. The fate of transference love is also a story of psychoanalysis; for it is confusing love that has generated psychoanalysis, continually shaken it, and propelled it forward. Thus, the two authors place psychoanalysis itself on the couch to hear what it has to say to the reader about transference love from its inception to the present.
