Sexual Boundary Violations by Doctors
Overview
What are the most common demographic and personality factors that encompass this little researched group?
Summary
When a physician violates a sexual boundary with a patient, it often opens them up to not just potential legal issues but civil lawsuits and potential suspension of their license to practice medicine. Despite sexual boundary crossing being a common reason for physicians to have license issues, there is not a great deal of research on the topic.
