So that is the verdict then? Did you hear back from the APA already? Give him a chance to explain what he was thinking?

Remember that when people have been victimized they tend to read revictimization into present circumstances...

I was shocked when I found out what was considered appropriate in a diagnostic interview according to Kaplan and Saddock's standard textbook for psychiatry. It said that very detailed questions were in fact appropriate.

When I was involved in a lesbian relationship you wouldn't believe how many p-docs would ask me what we did together sexually. I looked at them like they were little bugs and ignored the question - I thought they were being inappropriate... But perhaps... They weren't.

The thing is that you won't really know until you give him the chance to explain. To write him off so swiftly... When there isn't an abundance of therapists in your area... Junerin started a post on your behalf on general about internet therapy. If you haven't seen it already.
