Love, death, and the therapeutic relationship

Centered on a man’s course of psychotherapy and the analyst alongside him, this Jungian psychotherapy volume examines how love and mortality enter the consulting room. The book frames its subject through a sustained therapeutic relationship, bringing attention to the reciprocal human stakes for patient and analyst when death becomes part of the work. Its focus on erotic transference, signaled in the title, places attachment and desire within a clinical and psychological inquiry rather than treating them as separate from grief or dying.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Jungian psychotherapy
  • Psychotherapy practitioners and students exploring transference
  • Those seeking a case-centered examination of death in therapeutic work
