Review

The ethics of psychiatry, which discourage fraternization with a patient, are in place for a reason. If a shrink were to succumb to the inevitable wayward erotic impulse and engage in insane, loin-melding lust bouts with a kook under his or her treatment, then the therapist's effectiveness, and vulnerability to litigation, would be compromised, but probably not so severely as the untenable situation of the lady doctor in Whispers in the Dark (1992). She's a psychiatrist uppermost, but a woman first, and the fact that she and one of her most disturbed clients are sharing a stud is disturbing to her ego and emotional stability. Especially when the patient winds up brutally and sexually slain.
