Reddit mentions of Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis

I'm sorry you had to go through this.

The rules are very clear that this is not okay. The APA code of ethics is a good thing to read to get a sense of the rules that therapists are requires to follow. If you want something more technical http://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Boundary-Violations-Psychoanalysis-Gabbard/dp/158562098X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377453457&sr=8-1&keywords=boundaries+gabbard is a good book about therapists who cross boundaries.

You are not responsible for this in any way. This is no ambiguity in the rules here for therapists. There is no situation where he should have been doing the things you described. No matter what you may or may not have done there is no situation where you are at fault here. Even if a client came into an office coming onto the therapist like a cheeze porn movie or something the therapist would still be to blame for doing anything. When a therapist is involved with their client in non professional ways they are taking advantage of the power dynamic that exists so it is impossible for the 2 people to have a relationship without it being exploitive.

You don't have to report anything if you don't want to. But you may want to think about the risk that what happened to you could happen to others. You might not be the only one who had this happen.
