[Stefanie Robinson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the personal account of a woman who was abused and mistreated by a psychiatrist. This is particularly deplorable to me, because people go to psychiatrists to help themselves heal and find the tools they need to forge a better life and path for themselves. It was disgusting to read this account and know there are probably so many similar stories just like this that never came to light. Completely tragic.

Shocking true story of sexual abuse and near death at the hands of a psychiatrist.
