CHOICE Review

There is a new area of psychology that has begun to examine systematically one of the oldest and most sensitive issues in the profession: sexual intimacy between therapists and patients. The authors outline the types of sexual abuse and draw together clinical studies that claim to document this phenomenon. Since this is a new research frontier, there is not yet the comprehensive understanding of the ethical, legal, and and psychological issues that encompass this complex issue. Nevertheless, the authors have done an admirable job of describing therapists at risk, the vulnerabilities of patients, and consequences of therapist-patient sexual intimacy. The authors also discuss critical changes in the training of mental health professionals. Guidelines for lawyers and suggestions for patient-victims are also offered. No doubt this book helps legitimize the domain of sexual intimacy between therapists and patients by approaching this topic from a scientific rather than an anecdotal point of view. Recommended for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students.-R. Kabatznick, Queens College, CUNY
