Cast the First Stone

Who or what is really being served when an analytic relationship turns sexual?How can health best be restored to an impaired analyst?Do analytic training relationships teach overfamiliarity?Sixteen internationally known Jungian analysts examine the psychology of professional and not-so-professional patient relationships. Their thought-provoking essays will force you to pause, reflect, and question a little more before passing judgment.Codes of ethics evolve over time and may be different from culture to culture. Among the authors that add depth and understanding to current views of moral and ethical dilemmas are: VERENA KAST from Zurich, FRED PLAUT from Berlin, JUNE SINGER from San Francisco, ROSEMARY GORDON from London, and LENA B. ROSS and ANN BELFORD ULANOV from New York City. Other authors practice in Israel, Italy, South Africa, and the United States. In medicine and psychotherapy, ethical behavior means one tries to do whatever seems to be the most useful and therapeutic action at the time, realizing that our knowledge is never absolutely sure. There is always room for new information and insight.  Even more, it is our duty to question everything we are doing.     - Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig, Jungian analyst and author of Power in the Helping ProfessionsCONTENTS:Foreword by Adolf Guggenbiihl-CraigIntroduction by Lena B.
