If my female psychotherapist were to make unambiguous sexual advances toward me, I would terminate my relationship with her immediately. For me, she is eye-candy and has many traits that I would want in a mate. However, it is more important to me to get well than to get laid or romantically involved. Besides, I believe the American Psychological Association (APA) prescribes that a therapist not have sex with a patient until 2 years after termination. What a mess that would make.
I wonder if there is a fundamental difference between the sexes in the way they do or do not become attached emotionally to their therapists.
