She illustrates a wide range of erotic manifestations (for both therapist and patient) and offers recommendations to practitioners for dealing with erotic material when it arises. bold br/br/Andrea Celenza/bold has divided this book into two parts, with clinical, theoretical, and technical discussions in each chapter: bold br/br/Part I:/bold bold　Varieties and Meanings of Erotic Transferences and Countertransferences bulletlist/bold br/br/ bulletPresents the varieties and meanings of erotic transferences and countertransferences common in clinical situations; /bullet br/br/ br/br/ bulletIncludes case studies of erotic material used as examples of phases in treatment as well as moments of defensive impasse;/bullet br/br/ br/br/ bulletIncludes discussions of the management of aggression, underlying merger fantasies, uses of countertransferences (in multiple forms), and dilemmas surrounding self-disclosure. /bullet br/br//bulletlistbold br/br/Part II:　 Perverse Scenarios Revisited bulletlist/bold br/br/ bulletReconceptualizes and restores the term perversion into the clinical lexicon;/bullet br/br/ br/br/ bulletViews perversion as a quality of relating rather than a specific action or behavior;/bullet br/br/ br/br/ bulletPresents a wide range of clinical illustrations that demonstrates the usefulness of this reformulation. /bullet br/br//bulletlist br/br/Erotic Revelations puts sexuality back into psychoanalytic theorizing and makes a place for erotic transferences of whatever shape, in every analysis or therapy.
