Abstract

Sexual boundary violations by physicians are receiving increased public awareness as a result of disturbing, high-profile cases of abuse and assault. In the area of sexual relations with current patients, rules prohibiting such conduct are both clear and justified. In contrast, rules governing sexual relations between physicians and former patients and between physicians and the relatives of patients vary considerably among jurisdictions and among specialties in an illogical and often unjust patchwork. This article calls for a reassessment of such rules with an emphasis on consistency among jurisdictions, uniformity among specialties, and an operationalizable system for permitting some such relationships in a manner that balances the goals of protecting vulnerable parties and upholding their autonomy.

寻找界限的界限:为医生的性不端行为确立界限》(Boundaries in Search Boundaries: Establishing Parameters for Physician Sexual Misconduct.
由于一些令人不安的、备受瞩目的虐待和攻击案件,医生违反性界限的行为越来越受到公众的关注。在与现有病人发生性关系方面,禁止此类行为的规定既明确又合理。与此相反,关于医生与曾经的病人以及医生与病人亲属之间的性关系的规定,在不同的司法管辖区和不同的专业之间有很大的差异,拼凑起来不合逻辑,而且往往是不公正的。本文呼吁对此类规则进行重新评估,强调不同司法管辖区之间的一致性、不同专科之间的统一性,以及允许某些此类关系的可操作性制度,以平衡保护弱势方和维护其自主权的目标。
