Well I see it as, you can't prohibit adults from being together, but a professional organization can decide that someone else in the organization is no longer following their ethical guidelines and therefore not worthy of the profession.
Pdocs can never have relationships with current or former clients, so it is technically legal to prohibit this.
I think the idea is that transference can bring the client to the state of being emotionally childlike and/or vulnerable, so it is no longer a case of two consenting adults, on an emotional level.
(That is my understanding but gardnergirl or someone in the profession may want to correct me if I misunderstood.)
