“…Indeed, older estimates indicate that approximately 70-90% of clinicians have been attracted to one client, oftentimes more (Blanchard & Lichtenberg, 1998;Pope et al, 1986;Rodolfa et al, 1994). More recent studies indicated that 78% (Giovazolias & Davis, 2001) to 90% (Sonne & Jachai, 2014;in Hayes 2014) of those surveyed harbored such feelings. A preponderance of males has evidenced having intimate feelings, in comparison to females (Pope et al, 1986;Sehl, 1998).…”

“…Adherence to a strong theoretical perspective may also provide a solid foundation in such cases. It is essential to be mindful of the differences in love, attraction, sexuality, and relatedness that may exist between persons and cultures, as well as the potential for misunderstandings (Hayes, 2014). Utilizing an approach that emphasizes relational constructs (Nuttall, 2014) and/or the universal and individual elements of human experience as in existentialism (Berry, 2014) and multiculturalism may be fruitful.…”

“…There is considerable impetus for updated research and enhanced clinical awareness pertaining to victimization of persons at earlier and later stages of development. Moreover, topics of a sexual nature may be discussed within an adolescent's treatment, and awareness of such dimensions may be important in facilitating communication (Nissen-Lie & Stanicke, 2014;in Hayes, 2014).…”

“…Feelings of intimacy are inherent facets of many therapeutic encounters, and range dramatically depending on the particularities (Hayes, 2014).

Sexually intimate behavior between psychologists and their clients, supervisees, and students proposes a serious problem within psychology and related fields, although ethical codes related to this issue are contentious. Deleterious outcomes for those involved are often extensive and multifaceted. Additionally, clients from disenfranchised backgrounds may be at a heightened vulnerability to therapist exploitation due to increased power differentials. The discussion focuses on implications for training, supervision, and practice with regard to the therapeutic relationship and applications to minority populations. Recommendations are posited to help practitioners distinguish between sexual attractions and intimate behaviors and address them in ethical, socially just practice. Clients may also benefit from a deeper understanding of such issues.
