Very good explanation of why not.
I hope you can read the pages

LOL..... YOU ARE TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!1

He did say if he thought it would help the patient, he would, but doesn't because his role is like a parent and a good therapist will not let themelves "fall in love" because it would be about the T, not the patient's needs. And that doing it would cement the immature relationships the patient has had with their parents. That's what I understood from this.

?? I made a post to clarify why it is not a good idea to pursue sex in therapy and you think I'm funny? Would you care to come up with a coherent response?

They may not realize that if you click on the attachment, then click the back button, it sometimes gives you an enlarged photo to where you CAN actually read the teeny tiny doll writing.

As someone who is experiencing intense ET for her therapist, this post helped a lot. Thank you. What is the title of this book?

[Loco4]

Thank you for sharing. I'm also interested in which book this is?

It's called "the road less travelled". The first half is good. 2nd half I think goes off topic. But it's okay. I just liked a few things he talked about as a therapist.

I like Scott peck. The road less travelled is good.
The people of the lie is good too, the last half goes off track tho.

I read that too, and agree with you

[marmaduke]

I think Scott Peck describes what evil is.
A catastrophic lack of empathy as seen in narcissitic individuals.

Oh dear. Imagine his client base reading that. Anyone already somewhat in love with him is going to fall into trying to convince him sex is right for them....can you imagine?

I can't believe he said he would have sex if he thought it would benefit the patient.

[iheartjacques]

You need to read it, he says if he thought it would help, but he won't, and explains why.

Peck passed away in 2005. At least what you're imagining might happen with his clients isn't taking place any longer...

[iheartjacques]

Again, if you read it properly, you'll see that if he thou g t it would help to have sex with the client, he would, but he DOESN'T and explains WHY it's a bad idea. Sheesh

I just read through that section at the bookshop, then found this thread. He asserts that love in therapy is the essential ingredient. And that because love and sex are closely related, the latter is bound to come up. He also says that therapy is basically reparenting. Give the client the love they lacked in childhood.

What he does not mention, if i'm not mistaken, are the risks involved in attempting reparenting, in therapy love, and in inducing sexual desires in this context. This is true of almost everything I read from the profession. No discussion of what can go wrong, the ramifications. Hard to take any of them seriously.
