In an article published in this journal, Gornick (1986) discussed the situation of the female analyst or therapist and the male patient. In attempting to establish a “new narrative,” she made reference to Freud's ideas about transference. However, many of the references misstate or misconstrue Freud's position. This thesis is illustrated by a detailed examination of five errors contained in a brief section of Gornick's article entitled “The Erotic Transference.” The article closes with a plea for scholarly accuracy in portraying the positions of those with whom one disagrees.
