Sex bias in psychotherapy: a failure to confirm.
The authors examined the questions of sex-related countertransference and bias in psychotherapy by asking 65 male and 57 female experienced group therapists for clinical reactions to case materials of a bogus outpatient who was designated either male or female. They found that varying the patient's gender produced only small differences in the therapists' responses, and conclude that sex-related countertransference problems may not be as prevalent as had been previously thought.
