Abstract
In this article I will consider the complexity of the relationship between a daughter and her father within the context of the wider family constellation, and how working with a male analyst evoked both transferential and countertransferential material. When we are attachment figures to our clients, we can be particularly evocative of the same-sex parent because of the ways in which the transference is embodied in the flesh. In this case, the male analyst became over identified with my client's father in ways that were problematic for her and for the work.
