I think you are wrong on this point. Not because of the age of the
young man, but because there existed a teacher/student relationship.
"Increasing concern about therapist-patient sex has led to a
consideration of boundaries in all trust-based relationships, which
always include elements of power and dependency. Such relationships
include those between teacher and student, especially those involving
research or clinical supervision. Teacher-student relationships differ
from those between therapist and patient because of the collegiality
considered important for the student's development. Yet, both share the
objective of fostering independence of the "client." Therefore,
teachers need to find a balance of nurturance and separateness in their
relationships with their students, so that the students can carry that
modeling into their own careers."
