Patients as Victims Sexual Abuse in Psychotherapy and Counselling Derek Jehu, University of Leicester, UK with specialist contributions from John Davis, Tanya Garrett, Linda Jorgenson and Gary Schoener There is growing concern at the number of complaints about sexual abuse of patients while undergoing therapy. This book discusses the ethical proscription of sex between therapists and patients, and the legal and professional regulation of abuse in both North America and Britain--including many very recent and important legislative developments. The author looks at characteristics which appear to place therapists at risk of abusing, together with some pre-conditions necessary for the occurrence of abuse. He also discusses certain characteristics which render patients vulnerable to abuse, the consequences of abuse for them, and the treatment of the problems they present. Practitioners and trainees in the professions of clinical psychology, psychiatry, nursing, counselling and social work will find this volume essential reading, particularly as it offers detailed guidance on treatment of abusive therapists and victimized patients. This book appears in The Wiley Series in Psychotherapy and Counselling Series Editors: Franz Epting, University of Florida, USA, Bonnie Strickland, University of Massachusetts, USA and John Allen, University of Brighton, UK

Patients as Victims: Sexual Abuse in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Derek Jehu's authoritative study of sexual abuse in psychotherapy offers much hope to those who have undergone such a traumatic event. The book is clearly for clinicians and students but remains accessible to anyone trying to understand the process of therapy abuse. Professor Jehu validates the experiences of abused clients/patients with a rare understanding and gives a much needed credibility to the suffering endured by victims. Throughout the book the reader is made unequivocally aware of the responsibilities therapists have towards their clients and that at no time can a client/patient be seen to have manipulated the situation. Writing within his profession brings even greater credence and I would thouroughly recommend that this book becomes a standard text-book for everyone entering the therapeutic profession
