Here in the UK all psychologists/pychotherapists, if they are members of The British Psychological Society have to abide by the rules, code of ethics and conduct. There is a discipline commitee that deals with allegations and bad therapists are thrown out.

My T has been a Chartered Clinical Psychologist for over 30 years and he has never met any therapist that has abused a patient in this way. Of course there are rotten apples in any profession. Both T and I have read transcripts of bad T's that have been unethical and have been chucked out or reprimanded by the ethics commitee as it is published in The Psychologist magazine.

Having a dreadful experience with my T - sleeping with him, has shaded my experience of life!

I don't feel talking about what happened to me in therapy will impede upon others choosing to undergo treatment. However, as a result of this situation, I do find it difficult to trust and find the help I need - if it happened again, for me, there will be no turning back!

I felt the tone in your first note was very harsh and strong - maybe because of what occurred to me. I also feel upset that you feel you need to place a % on what you claimed - being a researcher in academia, I can attest to the fact that you cannot empirically equate that percentage to non occurrence of abuse/nor limited occurrence - many go unreported!

To place a percentage on this record of abuse, makes me wonder why you felt you needed to. Does it lessen WHAT REALLY OCCURS IN "SOME" THERAPY SESSIONS? <font color="red"> </font>
