From the Publisher
Sexual harassment is headline news, whether it occurs in the halls of Congress, the campuses of our universities, or the corridors of the workplace. Yet while most people think they know what it is--and that it's illegal--it is a subject that leaves people everywhere anxious, uncomfortable, and perplexed. Why, and what can be done about this, is the heart of this practical and insightful book.
Drawing on actual incidents, in-depth research, and his extensive professional expertise, Peter Rutter, M.D., examines the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings of the differences between the sexes; analyzes myths and realities about sex and sexuality in the context of daily life; and lays out the new sexual boundaries and laws on harassment as they affect co-workers, supervisors and staffers, teachers and students, professionals and clients. The book is rich in concrete advice on the complexities of managing relationships, preventing behaviors that infringe on boundaries, and dealing with actual incidents of sexual harassment when they occur. It is a practical handbook of positive ways to apply the important legal concept of Reasonable Woman/Reasonable Man established by a Federal Appeals Court in a crucial sexual harassment case in 1991.
The book is invaluable for individuals and organizations alike. Despite new laws and a burgeoning of company policies and trainings, studies indicate that 90 percent of harassment incidents are never reported--and that at least 10 percent of workers (most of them women) who do report or file official complaints about harassment suffer negative emotional and job-related impacts. Concrete guidance is sorely needed, and Sex, Power, And Boundaries provides it.
