Sacramento Therapist Sexual Abuse
Holding Abusive Therapists Accountable
Therapy can be a vital way for individuals to work through difficult problems impacting their lives. In order to be effective, therapists, counselors and psychiatrists must gain the trust of their patients. These professionals often hold a great deal of power over their patients. When therapists take advantage of this power and sexually abuse a patient, the results can be catastrophic. If you have been sexually abused by a therapist, a lawsuit can help to hold your abuser accountable and prevent this type of abuse from taking place again. The lawyers of Teal Montgomery & Henderson, with offices in Sacramento and Santa Rosa, can help you get justice against your abuser.
As part of the therapeutic process, patients often discuss painful memories with their therapist. During this process, a patient may transfer intense feelings towards the therapist. This process is known as transference. Although transference is a helpful therapeutic method, it is one reason why a therapist can become a very important figure in a patient's life. When therapists abuse that power and coerce their patients into sexual relations, it can be devastating to the patient.
