Product Description

A practical guide to the area of boundary violations and (sexual) abuse within the doctor-patient relationship. Aims to help improve safety for patients. It is the first British book on this serious subject that is often poorly dealt with. The book covers: ethical issues and advice on teaching them; prevalence; regulation and sanctions; prevention management; remediation; and roles of the different authorities likely to become involved, such as protection societies and the GMC. There are focussed chapters on the medical specialities presenting the greatest risk: psychotherapy, gynaecology, general practice, plus nursing. It is illustrated with many case-histories in the public domain and useful appendices include codes of practice from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the GMC and elsewhere, plus other web-based resources.
