Erotized Transference Reconsidered: Expanding the Countertransference Dimension. Milton Eber. Pp. 25-39.
Eber views transference as not simply re-enactment in the psychoanalytic situation of past relationships; he also views it as a new experience. The analyst "is a coparticipant whose personality has a major impact on transference behaviors." Using self psychology, Eber examines the erotic transference in the patient, Belle, described in Robert Stoller's book, Sexual Excitement: Dynamics of Erotic Life. He regards "the erotized transference as arising within an intersubjective context and as a product of an unique transaction between analyst and patient containing within it contributions from both." Eber feels the case material is better understood as arising in this specific intersubjective context.
