Biography
Charles Levin, Ph.D., F.I.P.A. is a Training and Supervising Analyst, Editor-in-chief, Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis, and Director, Canadian Institute of Psychoanalysis. He has edited and authored several analytic books and many articles on clinical, ethical and cultural topics.
"Most of the literature on sexual boundary violations focuses on the individual psychology of the analyst and the patient. This groundbreaking volume treats the continuing prevalence of boundary violations as a property of the group, focusing steadily on the analyst’s transgression as an inherent by-product of the profession itself. What is it about psychoanalysis that breeds ethical misconduct in the name of healing? Is there a cure? This book is riveting, both for its original and well-written scholarship and its direct confrontation of the psychoanalytic field."
Dawn Skorczewski, Ph.D, Research Professor of English, Brandeis University
