Jay, please do talk to colleagues and contact your professional organization on this. You're mistaken about this, and your mistake could cause people to be afraid to mention their feelings to their therapist. That would be at the very least, countertherapeutic. A therapist *will not* terminate a client who mentions an erotic transference. The only time a therapist will terminate a client who mentions an erotic transference is if they don't have adequate training to deal with it professionally. And then in my not so humble opinion, said therapist should refrain from practicing psychotherapy until he or she obtains more supervision and training in the area. Boy, talk about causing harm to your patients!
