Massage
Therapy
and Sexual
Misconduct
We believe one of the best ways to curb sexual abuse in massage therapy is to
sear the problem with bright light and constructive conversation throughout
our community. This feature by industry expert Ben E. Benjamin, PhD,
flows from his decades as a therapist and educator, and is punctuated by
more than 12 years as an expert witness in sexual assault lawsuits. It
underscores the importance of anyone vested in massage therapy careers
working together to uphold the profession's reputation. We appreciate
his willingness to have this tough discussion and his determination to
move forward with solid advice about how to avoid blurring the lines.
