Book excerpt: Essential reading about a notoriously difficult problem: how abusive professionalsmanipulate their clients and what we as organizations and individuals can doabout it.Professional sexual misconduct (PSM) is a problem that is notoriously difficult to addressand that can be a minefield for all concerned – for victims, for the institutionswhere it takes place –, and also because outstanding and supposedly responsiblemembers of society may be accused of abuse.Here, Werner Tschan, one of the world’s leading experts in dealing with PSM, outlinesan up-to-date approach to PSM and professional disruptive behaviors. Hedescribes practical ways to prevent PSM, as well as effective treatments for victimsand to rehabilitate offenders on those accused. Using examples from real-life casesfrom around the world, he also discusses how PSM is a societal problem and whatwe can do to stop it. Recent headline cases involving a variety of organizations –medical, media, church, schools, sport, industry – show that institutions can beideal environments for PSM, and so great emphasis is placed in this volume onpreventive measures that we can and must take at an institutional level.With clear, jargon-free writing this book is essential reading for all professionalsinterested in preventing and dealing with PSM, as well as of interest to victimsand their families.
