Thank you for the link. I really found it interesting. I thought I had heard somewhere that the ten percent figure was down to six or so, but I could well be mistaken. That's still way too high.
It was interesting in that even where the therapist "fell in love" and married the patient, the relationship still only lasted 1 1/2 to 2 years on average. I guess that's a pretty big stressor to put on "love".
I've told my therapist he'd better as heck never violate any boundaries and get his license yanked. I'm glad he appears to be happily married and fairly happy, since it was middle aged depressed men who made up most of the romantic contingent. Then of course, the predators. They're bound to congregate wherever there are vulnerable people to exploit.
