A member asked:
Why is there so much sexual abuse from male psychiatrists against female patients? it's more prevalent then being rapped by a stranger at night

If: You have been abused by a psychiatrist that is horrible and i strongly recommend that you find psychotherapy with someone trained in sexual trauma. However, i don't know of any evidence that male psychiatrists are engaging in more sexual abuse than men in the general population.

Sexual misconduct: One national survey of us psychiatrists showed that 7.1% of male and 3.1% of female respondents (overall prevalence = 6.4%) acknowledged sexual contact with their own patients. http://tinyurl.com/nen86pl most (88%) of these occurred between male psychiatrists and female patients; sexual involvement most often happened within 6 months of terminating therapy. Why? Bilateral human failings.
