From the other side of the couch: a lesbian psychiatrist looks at her own therapy

This article gives an intimate account of the author's own therapy and shows how the effects of white male heterosexual privilege altered the outcome of her own therapy in subtle ways. The article also deals with the boundary violations which occurred in the course of therapy with three different therapists of both sexes. These breaches of good therapeutic practice were influenced by the fact that the author is both a lesbian and a practicing physician.
