title: Management of the multiproblem seductive patient.
abstract: A seductive gesture by a patient towards a physician is not uncommon in clinical practice, and presents a variety of problems in maintenance of the doctor-patient relationship and management of the patient's medical problems. Medical, psychological, and social factors must be considered in resolving these problems. This Grand Rounds presents such a case and discusses alternative approaches to patient management and the role of other health professionals in the care of such patients.
