title: Characteristics of "erotic" practitioners.
abstract: Using the responses of 460 physicians to a questionnaire survey regarding sexual contact with patients (1), the authors attempt to statistically differentiate two groups--erotic practitioners and nonerotic practitioners. Analysis of data suggests that the freer a physician is with nonerotic contact with patients, the more statistically likely he is to engage in erotic contact.
