Although available research shows that psychotherapists have been subject to assault by clients, very little research has been conducted on assaults on marriage and family therapists as a specific group. The authors report on a preliminary study of 67 marriage and family therapists who returned surveys as a subset of a larger study. Forty-four percent reported that they had experienced a physical or psychological assault from a client, and 30% reported they had feared their lives were in danger while working with clients. Although this was a preliminary study with a low return rate, the data is used to raise awareness of the potential for violence in the workplaces of therapists. The authors emphasize the importance of training and continuing education in the assessment and management of threatening or violent clients. The authors also describe basic preventive, assessment, management, and coping measures for working with violent clients.
