You know, I don't think that erotic fantasies and fantasies of perfect parenting are that different. Isn't it conventional wisdom that adult sexual needs have their roots in infantile needs to be held, fed, etc.?
What I thought when I read about the situation is that the T and the client are stuck in a place where they are just going over and over the fantasies (thus gratifying them, in a way), instead of a place where they can *analyze* the fantasies for the underlying needs. I guess it's kind of like entering fully into a book, wallowing in it, and losing yourself in the fantasy, rather than analyzing themes, character patterns, and tensions.
It seems like that could happen with any kind of fantasy?
