Patients who feel sexually violated by their therapists may complain to the health authorities. During recent years there has been an increasing number of such complaints. 15 cases were under investigation at the Directorate of Health in July 1992. Most of the doctors and psychologists involved had long therapeutic experience. The sexual contacts were of highly divergent types. In the majority of cases the therapists lacked the capacity to draw clear borderlines between professional and private life. Some of the therapists had a tendency to belittle the contacts. Sexual contact between patient and therapist has a detrimental effect upon the relationship and the mental functioning of the patients. Therapists acquainted with colleagues' sexual violations should react swiftly. Too lenient and permissive ethical and social attitudes towards sexual relationships between therapist and patient may be conducive to further abuse. It is important to incorporate the study and discussion of these problems into both the basic and postgraduate education of therapists. Therapists who have violated the norms for decent behaviour need professional support.
感觉受到治疗师性侵犯的患者可能会向卫生当局投诉。近年来，这类投诉的数量不断增加。1992年7月，卫生局正在对15起此类案件进行调查。涉案的大多数医生和心理学家都有长期的治疗经验。性接触的类型千差万别。在大多数情况下，治疗师缺乏在职业生活和私人生活之间划定明确界限的能力。一些治疗师倾向于轻视这种接触。患者与治疗师之间的性接触会对医患关系以及患者的心理功能产生有害影响。知晓同事性侵犯行为的治疗师应迅速做出反应。对治疗师与患者之间的性关系过于宽容和放任的道德及社会态度可能会助长进一步的虐待行为。将这些问题的研究和讨论纳入治疗师的基础和研究生教育非常重要。违反行为规范的治疗师需要专业支持。
