Sexual Harassment between Doctors

This international text synthesises interdisciplinary perspectives and experience, enabling effective and contextually relevant management of sexual harassment between doctors.

Sexual harassment between doctors affects survivors, health systems, and quality of care for patients and their families. This book synthesises interdisciplinary international research to help individuals and organisations devise effective methods of reducing incidence and managing outcomes.Sexual harassment between doctors is a common problem hiding in plain sight. Studies around the world consistently find that prevalence is well above zero. Harassment is more common when the survivor is still in training, and it is more likely to be experienced by doctors living with multiple marginalisations. This book combines expert analysis and commentary from various interdisciplinary perspectives. It privileges the voices of survivors, whose experience helps to inform our understanding of a complex problem. With contributors in locations ranging from Austria to Zambia, the book spans multiple languages, sociocultural contexts, and academic disciplines and offers unique globally contextualised perspectives. It gives readers a holistic understanding of sexual harms between doctors and demonstrates how silence prevents effective evidence-based management of sexual harassment. This volume helps to break the silence and offers potential solutions in discrete cultural contexts. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
