Summary: A must read if you really want to understand the sex crisis
Review: First, I want to honor and remember Richard Irons, M.D., who passed away in 2002. Formerly of the Menninger Clinic, Dr. Irons dedicated his life to helping highly-functioning professionals recover from their very deep psychological wounds and stop the maladaptive ways that they medicated their pain. Rutter's Book, "Sex in the Forbidden Zone", broke ground in describing the tempations and consequences thereof when empowered professionals cross patient sexual boundaries. The Wounded Healer is THE ONLY BOOK I know of that correctly analyzes and categorizes their personality types and gives a template for evaluation, rehabilitation, and possible reentry of these professionals back into the workplace. Complementing Dr. Irons are the perspectives of Dr. Jennifer Schneider, an Arizona general internist who writes eloquently of the effect sexual addiction has upon the family and the toxic dynamics of the coaddicted spouse. Dr. Schneider wrote "Back from Betrayal", probably the best book that therapeutically addresses the healing from the trauma of adultery, and now is colloborating with Deb Corley in Texas on methods of disclosing secrets and healing shame with spouses for those with sexual addiction and coaddiction. I would suggest that you buy this book, read it, and then donate it to your local medical or hospital library. 5-10% of physicians have had an inappropriate relationship with a member of the opposite sex. It is likely that a doctor currently on staff at your hospital has done the same thing.
