Little has been written of the female analyst’s countertransference to her male patient’s transference. The author presents a clinical case to illustrate her views. Issues in the male patient’s transference to the female analyst include 1) fear of the preoedipal phallic and/or seductive mother; 2) fear of the aggressive wishes toward this mother; and 3) the paternal transference wishes to the female analyst. The “nonaggressive and nurturing stance imposed on the female” may conflict with the analyst’s probing manner or with the analyst’s acceptance of her patient’s defining her as more aggressive. When the female analyst is seen by her male patient as “the seductive harlot, frightening Medusa, strong parental rescuer or the ever-flowing maternal breast,” her countertransference responses will be crucial in helping him integrate these split-off object representations. She must be able to perceive herself as “the bad breast, aggressor or father, as well as the good breast, nurturer or mother” in order to further the erotic transference and the working-through process.
