THERAPY SESSIONS OVER THE PHONE [#18654]

January 28, 2022

QUESTION:

I saw the Rav’s response where the Rav said it’s inappropriate for a woman therapist to do sessions even over the phone, for a man client. What about the other way around – can a man therapist do phone therapy sessions for a female client?

ANSWER:

This is not appropriate at all! This is entirely the opposite of kedushah (holiness)!
