Psychiatric rape is very common

The very same people vulnerable people are told to trust often terrorize them with sexual abuses. It has been reported that rape of patients is a common practice by psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and psychologists.

Reports of sexual abuse of psychiatric patients are common. Jan Eastgate, the President of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International, has commented on the crisis of sexual abuse by psychiatrists and psychologists. Eastgate raises such considerations as when a young girl who is a victim of incest has been further sexually abused by psychiatrists during “therapy.”

Professionals who are entrusted with the job of assisting people who are very emotionally fragile often take advantage of their positions to sexually abuse the victims

Professionals who are entrusted with the job of assisting people who are very emotionally fragile often take advantage of their positions to sexually abuse the victims even more. There was the case of French psychotherapist Jean-Pierre Tremel in 2002 who was given a sentence of 10 years in prison for the rapes and sexual abuse of two young patients who were recognized by the court as being very vulnerable. Tremel at 52 years old insisted that his “treatment” was based on a tradition in the Orient wherein girls are introduced to sexual practices by older men.

The license of Dr. John Dicke was revoked by the Colorado State Board of Psychologist Examiners in 2003 after he used sex toys in the treatment of a 5 year old boy. The young boy’s father said his son was

“stripped naked, tortured, restrained, verbally abused, sexually abused, brainwashed and horrified by a dildo” during the so-called therapy.

Dr. Paul A. Walters, who was a psychiatrist in charge of student health at Stanford University, California, and who was also a former head of Harvard University’s Health Services’ Mental Health Division, was forced to resign in 1989 after allegations that he had frequent sex with a woman who was his patient. The woman was a victim of sexual abuse when she was a child. She was awarded over $200,000 in an out-of-court settlement. She said that Walters frequently had her perform oral sex on him during psychiatric sessions.

There is a greater risk of a woman being raped during a therapy session by a psychiatrist than when she is jogging alone at night in a city park

Eastgate has pointed out that there is a greater risk of a woman being raped during a therapy session by a psychiatrist than when she is jogging alone at night in a city park. In a 2001 study it was revealed that

one out of twenty clients who had been a victim of sexual abuse by their therapist was just a minor. The youngest sexual abuse victim was three years old and the average age of abuse was 7 years old for girls and 12 years old for boys.

It has been reported by the Daily Mail in an article on July 11, 2017, that a mental health nurse told a 13 year old patient who was a victim of rape by her own father to call him “Daddy Paul” before he also sexually abused her for more than two years. Paul wanted to take the little girl’s mother out so they could all live together. He told the young girl he loved her and they could be a couple after she left the hospital.

The victim of this sexual abuse case is now 20 years old. She says she was sexually abused by Paul for over

two years while she was a patient at Cheadle Royal Hospital located in Stockport. This victim says Paul often talked to her about when she lost her virginity and when he lost his virginity. He told her he wanted to have sex with her.

Paul told the girl not to discuss their relationship with the other staff members because they would not understand their relationship. This sexual abuse victim has since testified in Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester about this.

As Eastgate has pointed out therapist sexual abuse is sexual abuse and therapist rape is rape. Sexual abuse by therapists is not therapy. Eastgate has gone on to raise the concern that until prosecutors and judges deal with every incidence of this as such, psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists will continue to be a threat to any woman or child who is undergoing mental health therapy.
