The Love Cure: Therapy and the Erotic Relationship<\/b><\/p>\n
It has become “politically correct” to view every manifestation of erotic feelings in therapy as “forbidden” and “inappropriate.” In my experience, whenever therapy “works” it has a powerful erotic component. Instead of running away from erotic feelings in therapy, we have to learn to understand them. In their oneness, therapist and patient become powerfully meaningful for one another. By means of their distance, the therapist is able to articulate and value the deep identity of the patient. It is this recognition and “mirroring” which affects the cure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Audio:<\/strong> An audio MP3 is included with this download.<\/p>\n PowerPoint:<\/strong> Slides are edited into the video.<\/p>\n Learning Objectives<\/u><\/span><\/b> \u00a0 1) Appreciate the problems and opportunities Eros brings to the therapeutic encounter.<\/p>\n \u00a0 2) Appreciate the archetypal\u2014and not merely personal\u2014nature of this dynamic.<\/p>\n \u00a0 3) Appreciate the transformation whereby anima and animus are converted from \u201cmask\u201d to \u201clens.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0 4)\u00a0Grasp the nature of differentiating our archetypal response to another.<\/p>\n Recommended readings<\/u><\/span><\/b> \u00a0 – J.
