Erotic transference and love in psychotherapy are phenomena that highlight the depth and complexity of the therapeutic relationship. When managed ethically, thoughtfully, and compassionately, exploration of these dynamics can deepen the therapeutic process, offering profound opportunities for understanding and transformation – for both therapist and client.
Through engaging powerpoint slides and large and small group discussions, we will reflect together on all of the above aspects of Erotic Transference and Love. We will consider how we can work effectively with this phenomena whilst also accounting for the significance of our own cultural narratives, our internal bias and the power dynamics within the transferential therapeutic relationship.
Join us on this masterclass and enrich your therapeutic practice and foster meaningful connections with your clients.
Tutor: Adena Franses CTA, PTSTA
Adena is a Certified Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, a clinical supervisor, trainer and qualified mental health nurse with over 30 years of clinical experience in private practice, within the public health sector (NHS) and primary care service. In 2001, she moved from the UK to Granada Spain, where she built up a psychotherapy and supervision practice working with individuals, couples and groups. Adena believes that lasting and profound change, in any area of our lives, can be achieved in relationship, through mutuality, respect, and the acknowledgment of the intersubjective experience. This is at the heart of all her work.
