Colonialism and Countertransference: Two Cases of the Sexual Abuse of Women by Doctors

Roland Littlewood

University College London

Colonial and postcolonial stereotypes evoked by their actions are briefly considered.

Key Words: countertransference • overseas doctors • postcolonialism • racism • sexual abuse
