Description
Summary:Psychologists identified which nonsexual multiple relationships (MRs) they most frequently had to negotiate with current and former clients, supervisees, and students. Information was also gathered on how potential sexual MRs develop and why such relationships do not ultimately occur. Nonsexual MRs were discussed or addressed most frequently with supervisees, and social interactions and events were the types of relationships that were most frequently discussed. Actions cuing a potential sexual MR are also described, and rationales that deterred psychologists from actually engaging in sexual relationships are provided.
