520 3 _aThis article offers psychodynamic insight into one controversial aspect of the workplace and addresses the following themes. First, a few women who have low self-esteem and who perceive themselves to be attractive are unconsciously motivated to seek the attention of male authority figures to stave off feelings of worthlessness and undesirability. The concept of symbolic seduction is introduced to explain this phenomenon. Second, symbolic seduction constitutes a form of sexual harassment. Male authority figures are unconsciously sought out and seduced into finding the woman to be desirable. It is asserted that this behavior is unwelcome by men. Third, these considerations apply equally well to men who suffer from low self-esteem. They seek attachment to and control over women to compensate for frustrated attachment and autonomy needs relative to their mothers
