Sexual Contact between Psychotherapist and Patient: Legal Remedies

This article examined the extent of sexual contact between psychotherapist and patient, the nature of the remedies available for a patient who has been damaged by such an experience, the defenses available for the therapist, specific case examples, and predictions about the future course the remedies for this activity are likely to take. There are not presently any reported appellate level civil cases with allegations of sexual improprieties by a psychologist. The major activity in sanctioning this type of behavior appears to be among licensing boards in hearing complaints. It appears from the data examined that licensing boards are the quickest and most effective mechanisms for dealing with this problem.
