Seem to be getting lots of queries about erotic transference, otherwise known as falling for your shrink. Since I specialize in treating men, thought I'd take a crack at the subject from the particular angle of male patient/female therapist.
Male patients - all patients - bring to therapy the gender role expectations, attitudes and behaviors they experience in their other male-female relationships.
Interesting take on Erotic Transference in the female therapist/male client dynamic, but I think there's a lot here that applies in general. Written by a therapist and provides a glimpse into their perspective, I thought a lot of people would be interested.
