In June a 41-year-old female patient in Kansas City accused her gynecologist, Dr. Frank E. Baum, of having hypnotized her so that she would have “telephone sex” with him. She said that she went to him complaining of a pain in her side and that he later left a series of phone messages saying, “You are going to become dependent on me. I want you to let me use your mind, let me use your body.” Baum said the messages were meant to be “relaxation therapy” for her and that, though he admitted he had discussed her sexual fantasies with her, he “didn’t enjoy it. It was very boring.” He also admitted to talking dirty to her in his office while she masturbated.
