Behind Closed Doors: Gender, Sexuality, and Touch in the Doctor/Patient Relationship


Overview

Health professionals need a guide to the appropriate and respectful care of patients. Such a guide is vital because patients have become more concerned about how they are being cared for. Sexuality, gender, and touch are complex and powerful subjects, and can become volatile. Through an understanding of these topics by the practitioner and the patient, awareness is heightened and both are spared harm. A comprehensive series of questionnaires are included to enable health professionals to query themselves, their staff, and their patients about doctor behavior. The purpose of the questionnaires is proactive: to discover if a doctor's behavior could be misconstrued by patients as inappropriate or harmful. The feedback should alter questionable behavior before professional or legal repercussions occur.
