Sexy Therapy
Should a Therapist Have Intercourse With Patients?

Psychology Today
[197-?]
Submitter: This surprising 35 min cassette recording could have been compressed into a 5 second recording comprised of 1 word : NO
Holly: Was this actually something that the profession was questioning in the 1970s? It gives “sex therapy” a whole new meaning!

Depends on the client….
I once sold a used book on this question to a therapist who commented that he needed it right away.
Nope. This is a thing: http://www.surrogatetherapy.org/what-is-surrogate-partner-therapy/
The title isn’t a question. To me it read as a theoretical problem already existing, like “Should a man do such and such,” then how can we handle it.
But, it isn’t a question. Like the movie, “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” It is not a question!
ah part of dr. gaye’s sexual healing program…
Is the author related to Jonathan Livingston?
This should really be digitized and put on the internet.
Ummm….
Is the author related to Barbara Seagull?
Isn’t there a whole branch of therapy now where the therapists do have sex with their patients? Sexual surrogates?
Oh, yes — I saw a good movie about that, starring Helen Hunt and John Hawkes, called “The Sessions.” Really well done — he was a severely disabled man and she was the therapist, based on a true story/memoir. My wonderful local theater (the Coolidge Corner Theatre) had Hawkes and someone else from the film (director? screenplay writer?) for Q&A afterwards. Hawkes impressed me very much — not a Hollywood actor ego at all.
I am annoyed by the meaningless nautilus shell on the cover.
I was thinking that was suppose to symbolize The Golden Ratio.

Though I usually see it applied to art –

But what does it have to do with therapy and therapists? (Question to the art designer)
Without knowing more about the tape, I am just going to be boring and assume they mean intercourse with the “friendly conversation” definition. As in, should a therapist just listen to their patients or should they engage them in friendly discussion?
What I really like here is Submitter’s statement that it should be condensed into a five-second recording of the word NO. Because honestly? I am going to say the word “no” for five seconds right here:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(I counted the seconds as I held the “o” key.) And I must say I agree with Submitter. The answer is not just NO, but rather a *five-second-long* NO.
