I agree the actual numbers are likely higher than those found in this one study.
These numbers are merely percentages of mental health providers who admit to sexual contact with patients/clients. I’m certain it’s an underreported offense and there are many mental health providers who commit this offense but never admit to it. The actual percentages are unknown.
