Although in these Code-era films, sexual relations (however one defines
the term!) are not depicted, you can find at least innuendo as well as
other unethical behavior by shrinks in I, THE JURY (the villain is a
woman psychiatrist); Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND; and Jacques Tourneur's
original version of CAT PEOPLE.  (In the latter, the shrink comes on to
the woman who thinks she changes into a panther when sexually
approached, so she turns into a panther and kills him!)

This does not include abusive behavior in asylums, from BEDLAM to SHOCK
CORRIDOR to ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.
