Psychologists' sexual contact with patients alarms survey findings
A nationwide survey of 666 licensed psychologists finds over 20 percent of male psychologists report sexual intercourse with patients and over 10 percent admit erotic contact. Female psychologists report far lower rates, with ethical breaches prompting therapy ends and patients seeking only agreed treatment. Researchers Jean Corey Holroyd and Annette Brodsky note ethics violations, while most respondents condemn such conduct as unethical and harmful.

Judge sanctions housing bias occupation based
New York State Supreme Court Justice Edward J. Greenfield ruled a landlord may lawfully discriminate against a prospective tenant on occupation. The decision, backing landlord Stanley Stahl, held no statutory prohibition unless race creed color national origin sex or marital status apply. The ruling could have precedential impact despite procedural oddities surrounding a $1,600 settlement with Judith Pierce.
