Claims: Dr Joseph Bray is accused of acting inappropriately towards a female patient who was distraught over her husband's cheating
A top psychiatrist on the Priory shocked a patient by telling her that 'men aren't biologically programmed for monogamy' after she complained about her husband cheating, a hearing was told today.
Dr Joseph Bray allegedly told the patient she was 'unreasonable' to expect her husband to be faithful, and added: 'When my wife dies, I will sh** as many women as I can.'
The married father of two, 57, denies that he acted sexually towards to the woman, known as Mrs A - but the misconduct hearing was told that he later went on to have an affair with another patient.
Dr Bray used Google to look up the mistress of his patient's husband during a consultation, then compared the physical appearance of the two women, the tribunal heard.
Mrs A felt 'awkward and uncomfortable' after receiving counselling at the £3,000-a-week Priory Hospital in Southampton, where she was being treated for 'emotional distress'.
Dr Bray, who is originally from Ireland but now lives in the New Forest, faces being struck off at a General Medical Council tribunal in Manchester over his affair and the alleged remarks to Mrs A.
The doctor - who previously worked as an NHS psychiatrist and university lecturer - held a consultation with the woman in November 2012 after she complained of extreme stress resulting from discovering her husband's affair.
Paul Williams, counsel for the GMC, told the hearing: 'He used the internet to locate pictures of her husband's mistress and went on to make comparisons between the physical appearance of Patient A and the mistress.
He used inappropriate colloquial terms when talking about the conduct of the husband, including the word 'sh***ing', and discussed personal relationships of his own with his own wife.
'The conversation turned from simple relationship matters to physical appearance, attraction and discussing sexual matters.'
Mr Williams continued: 'She says she found it distressing and unprofessional for the doctor to Google her husband's mistress and begin passing comments about women.
