Abstract
Sexual contact between psychotherapists and patients is unethical, exploitative, and harmful. It commonly begins through breaches of appropriate therapeutic boundaries. A preventive approach involves training clinicians, educating public, and establishing an institutional policy. Treatment of victims raises issues that require special attention in order to forestall further injury.Keywords
