Also, how many men actually participated in the survey? If there is a small "n" then the generalizability of the results could also be questionable. I also think that there is a huuuuuge grey scale for what "attracted" to a client means. If it just means that they find them generally physically attractive, then its basically just a survey asking men how many of them are attracted to women.

Just my two cents...
Questioning the reliability of the survey and the actual accuracy of the statistics is right on. Without knowing the number of males in the 500 therapists surveyed, the 95% stat could be highly skewed. Your two cents are most valuable.
Thanks for this!

I sort of see where you're coming from but then I don't. Some women with a history of sexual abuse for instance might use sex as a way to take back the power when in the past they felt powerless. In other words it's a maladaptive way of using sex. A T isn't going to help the situation if he/she engages in sex with clients that acts this way.
Thanks for this!

The law has to be the way it is. But morality is a bit more complicated, isn't it?

I think the rules are to protect the state's interest. The state represents "the people", not so much a person. We dont really care if the person is innocent or not, technically, ie the person upon whom a crime has been committed. But it makes you wonder about that attorney. If i was the old doc, i would have looked for a way to file a civil suit against her. Something seems wrong there. If ignorance of the law is no excuse, then knowledge of the law should be actionable!
Thanks for this!

There was nothing he could have done. He was well known in the field. It made the newspaper. Every employee at the hospital got an email with the formal announcement he was stepping down. Bad PR. I'm sure the hospital was facing a major lawsuit from her if they didn't take his license. It was a relationship, very short lived but I guess they dated. Obviously it didn't go far or end well. When co workers and I read the email at work we just shook out heads in disbelief. What was he thinking?!?

I bet every male psychiatrist in my city is extra careful when working with female clients because of this.
