If anyone has a therapist who has been sexual with them, male-female psychologist, social worker, therapist, psychiatrist - please report them to their licensing board. So what if they state it's all in your mind? It really won't matter for you in the long run, imo. BUT if enough people report the same T, then someone will notice and won't have to go by just your account, they might even set up a sting to catch the pervert.

Now, on to some harder statistics? Studies (self reports) prior to 1979 I think, revealed that 12% of male therapists and 3% of female therapists engaged in sexual activity with a client. Later studies said that even up to year 2000, nothing had really changed if the same parameters were measured. That's really sad. There was another study from the 1990s that stated 7% overall, but I'm wondering if they measured in the same way as previous (as the 2000 one said the stats were basically the same.)

This means there are more people out there who shouldn't be therapists, imo. (I assume this is not counting any sex therapists who might have been counted in as engaging, even though they rarely engage in any such act themselves, etc. You know?)

Now WHY do you think there are so many of them continuing to do this? One, they shouldn't be therapists, and two, patients/clients aren't reporting them. The profession knows of the problem, but they can't solve it if the people aren't being reported. One patient might be able to get out before they are harmed further (I say further because anyone who's had someone like this make an advance already has the relationship harmed) but another, future patients might not be.

IF you are strong enough to report...just report simply what happened, not using name calling or assumptions... just report the facts.. then please do so. Though it will be difficult, you will feel better about yourself later.



PS I would report.
