In a national survey of PGY-4 psychiatric residents, 4.9% of the 548
respondents indicated that they had been sexually involved with psychiatric
educators and 0.9% reported that they had been sexually involved with
patients. Most residents reported no or minimal instruction in their
residency programs about educator-resident and resident-patient sexual
contact. The authors compare these results with those from previous surveys
of psychologists. They discuss the need for expanding training curricula to
include specific education on sexual exploitation.Abstract Teaser
