0:00.0 | So Bob, we have a bunch of emails here. Let's read them and answer them. What do you say? |
0:03.8 | Yes. This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and |
0:09.7 | a professor. And who are you, Bob Gettle? I am Bob Gettle, therapist and practice here in Seattle, |
0:16.0 | and your old friend from school. Yeah. Old friend in two ways, both old and old. Yes, thank you. |
0:23.9 | Patron Leia says, I just listened to one of your episodes and it got me thinking that the |
0:29.6 | therapist client sexual boundary violations can't be that rare. I remember you cited a study that |
0:35.2 | said 10% of therapists have had sex with their clients. And I just looked up today that it's |
0:40.8 | 9% of male therapists have acted on their sexual attraction to clients from a 2016 study. That's |
0:46.8 | one in 10. And these are just the ones that who report it. I feel like this is a much bigger problem |

1:32.0 | psychoanalysis, they're like half of the half of the major psychoanalysts like had sex with |
1:37.8 | their clients even married some, you know, but Fadenzi, Karen Hornai, |
1:42.0 | Jung was implicated. And so it was a progression into the current times, which I thought was much more |
1:54.8 | professional and much more buttoned up. But so I think sometimes on the podcast, I'll say like, |
2:00.7 | well, it's pretty rare these days. But I looked back at the stats and I thought I'd give you a |
2:07.2 | little quiz, Bob, what do you say? I'm going to fail it. But before going into that, I do want to |
2:13.5 | reflect what you're saying, which is that if you just asked me without the stats before me, I would |
