In spite of prohibitions against the sexual involvement of physicians with their patients, erotic feelings sometimes arise in physician-patient relationships. The authors suggest that physicians can protect themselves and their patients from the harm that results from sexual involvement by establishing behavioural limits for their professional relationships, responding to patients' sexual overtures in a firm but nonjudgemental manner, examining their own sexual feelings rationally, seeking consultation if necessary and terminating the relationship if sexual feelings are compromising patient care. The challenge for physicians is to acknowledge that sexual feelings can arise and to manage such feelings for the sake of their own and their patients' well-being.
尽管有禁止医生与患者发生性接触的规定，但医患关系中有时仍会产生爱慕之情。作者建议，医生可以通过为其职业关系设定行为界限、以坚定但不评判的方式回应患者的性暗示、理性审视自己的性感受、必要时寻求咨询以及如果性感受危及患者护理则终止关系等方式，保护自己和患者免受性接触所带来的伤害。医生面临的挑战是承认可能会产生性感受，并为了自身和患者的福祉而管理好此类感受。
