Sexual Attraction in Therapy presents new findings from
multiple perspectives into the complex phenomenon of sexual
attraction in therapy. Detailed clinical examples and strategies
from expert contributors demonstrate how therapists can engage with
sexual attraction, when it arises, in positive ways that facilitate
client progress and ensure appropriate professional
conduct. 


Challenges practitioners to think about sexual attraction as a
normal dynamic developing through the unique intimacy of the
therapy encounter

Presents new findings from research to enrich understanding of
the lived experience of therapists and how they confront, avoid,
make use of the process of sexual attraction

Provides clinical examples to highlight common challenges faced
by practitioners, the strategies they use to overcome them and how
they normalize the ?taboo? of sexual attraction to make
positive use of it in therapy

Makes an important contribution to current literature on
professional practice, an area of increasing importance as more
emphasis is placed on issues of ethics, ongoing supervision and
appropriate professional conduct
