TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Therapists' Anger, Hate, Fear, and Sexual Feelings: National Survey of Therapist Responses, Client Characteristics, Critical Events, Formal Complaints, and Training JO - Professional psychology: research and practice A1 - Pope, K.S. A1 - Tabachnick, B.G. SP - 142 EP - 152 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - Therapists reported frequencies of experiencing 24 instances of feeling anger, hate, fear, and sexual attraction or arousal; encountering 16 client events (e.g., client orgasm, client disrobing, client suicide, client assault on therapist or third party); and engaging in 27 behaviors (e.g., avoiding clients with human immunodeficiency virus, kissing clients, massaging clients, using weapons or summoning police for protection from clients). Responses differed according to therapist gender (e.g., more male than female therapists experienced patient suicides and faced malpractice, ethics, or licensing complaints), client gender (e.g., more female than male clients were noticed as "physically attractive," hugged, and cradled in therapists' laps), and theoretical orientation. Many participants rated graduate training regarding anger, fear, and sexual arousal as inadequate. © 1993 American Psychological Association.
