This book shows how silence around taboo topics can undermine therapy goals, as well as the teaching, practice, and profession of psychotherapy more broadly. It gives readers the skills they need to recognize and overcome barriers to speaking up.The authors describe current and historical contexts that can make frank discussions of certain topics difficult, and present factors that play a role in self-silencing. Strategies including questions for reflection and group exercises can help readers build the courage to talk more openly, honestly, and directly in the therapy room and beyond. Chapters focus on a variety of topics that can be difficult to discuss openly including physical difference and disability, sexual orientation, sexual reactions to clients, therapist feelings of anger, oppression, white supremacy culture, religion, money and fees, and death and dying.Speaking the Unspoken seeks to create dialogue, by encouraging the reader to deepen their understanding of these underexamined topics and improve their ability to help clients and strengthen the profession.

This book offers a concise, practical guide to ethical and legal concerns related to therapists' sexual feelings and fantasies. The psychotherapy profession has always struggled to deal openly with therapists' sexual feelings. Between the often unavoidable fact of sexual attraction, and the potential crossing of boundaries and sexual relationships with clients, there exists a wide range of assumptions, beliefs, feelings, and daydreams that often are suppressed and unspoken-sometimes with devastating consequences. This candid, practical book addresses three distinct areas related to therapists amp rsquo sexual feelings: sexual attractions to clients (including sexual fantasies, dreams, and arousal) the violation of sexual boundaries with clients (including consensual therapist-patient sexual involvement) and forensic issues, including therapists who testify in cases where therapist-patient sex is at issue. The authors offer an extensive review of widespread and changing approaches to this topic in the history of psychotherapy, alongside a comprehensive look at current standards and research findings. They also provide important information for fact and expert witnesses, examining the evolving ethical and legal standards surrounding sexual relationships between therapists and clients, and discuss how to respond to clients to report having been sexually involved with a prior therapist. Incisive reflection questions encourage readers to recognize and respond appropriately to their own feelings in the therapy room.
