Freudian slip: Therapist jailed for sexual relationship with a patient | FOX6Now.com
This story interested me especially the extreme change in feelings felt by the client. Now the client wishes the therapist dead and doesn't even trust himself. This is a very real danger I see with therapy. Not just the abuse but you can be dealing with such intense feelings. And even without the abuse, managed incorrectly can do so much harm |

Happened to me. I feel the same way. I’m lucky (and he’s lucky) I don’t live near him anymore.
Thanks for posting. Therapist exploitation is still certainly a current issue and we need to study it and have open discussions about it. Its like it’s a taboo subject. |

Even well-meaning incompetence can be very damaging.

Thank you for sharing this. Please post this link in the Survivors of Unethical Therapy thread. It is in the psychotherapy subsection.

This case, and all exploitation by therapists, is awful. Just reading about the terrible consequences this client suffered is enraging and sad. I hope it educates people on how devastating exploitation can be. Like with all abuses of power that silence victims, I hope this case helps others who have been exploited. |

no... some States it's not illegal at all. just an ethical problem governed by the board of psychology in that state. you can file civil lawsuits... which is what I was coerced to do

I can't open the link as I'm not in the US.
Yep. With the right therapist though, it can be incredibly healing. I do think it's a subject that needs more attention and thought put into it. It can be so very painful, and without the right support to aid transformation, I think it can potentially be more harmful. __________________ "It is a joy to be hidden but a disaster not to be found."

Not sure it should be a felony but it feels to me like the "dependency" exploitation and betrayal that I experienced in therapy -- seems like that should qualify as a misdemeanor. What do I know, I'm not a lawyer or legislator. But if it were to be put on the books like that, then it might help make therapists better aware of the damage they can do, and hold them more accountable. No question, sexual exploitation seems like the worst, though. |

I don't know much about US media, but this source does not seem reliable or serious. Sensational reporting misleads us and mischaracterises abuse as frivolous and entertaining.
