what about his attraction towards the pt, what he do about that, will he suppress it, if not then what he do?

ethically he have to set the limits, and acted professionaly, and don't have attraction toward his pts.
here is a two sided story.

this question is asking what is ethically and legally which is the most appropriate behaviour .it is never appropriate to have sexual relation with your patient. his getting attracted to the lady does not matter. it is a simple straightforward question with no ambiguity. by the way what s the personality disorder the lady is exhibiting?
