In all fairness to this p-doc, he didn't "induce" your attachment. That was you responding powerfully to some quality in him. Possibly his seriousness and intent focus on you made you feel cared for in a way you had never felt cared for in the past and it opened up all this longing in you. But really, they don't induce this purposely. It just happens with some patients, some feel it more intensely than others. I know a ton of people in therapy, even in daily analysis, who've never felt strong transference attachments and don't understand at all why I'm so attached to my p-doc.
WTF did he induce a transference neurosis then decide to abandon me? I don't get it. Why not get my history, then decide whether or not he was going to treat me rather than attach me like that. It seemed so cruel the way he did that.
