Therapy abuse is rampant. I have been reading the material that the Scientologists have amassed at their psychcrime website. There is a database of 692 crimes committed by therapists there.

Apparently, around 10% of psychiatrists admit to sexually abusing their patients, and this equates to 15,000 rapes (4,500 in the US alone).

In one of the graphs: Number of Mental Health Practitioners Jailed Internationally - there were 12 mental health practitioners jailed in 1995, 53 in 1996, 64 in 1997, 100 in 1998, 160 in 1999 and 180 in 2000.

Whether in traditional religions, new religions, cults, hospitals, psychiatric offices or anywhere else, all form of abuse needs to stop.

It's important to note that Scientology has its own history of abuse allegations and crimes.

See [www.culteducation.com]

Scientology is opposed to all therapy, through the mental health profession. Specifically, they do not accept any psychologist or psychiatrist as a means for treating mental illness or personality disorders.

See [www.cultnews.com]

Scientologists believe they alone have the real answers, not unlike other groups called "cults."

Of course psychiatrists and other mental health professionals should be prosecuted just like anyone else when they commit crimes.

Psychological abuse is SO HARD to prove. It's my opinion, and the opinion of a lot of other writers on narcissists and psychopaths that it is exactly these types that become abusive psychologists and psychiatrists. They fool judges and even other psychiatric professionals. They leave their patients so confused that it is difficult for patients to report abuse and by the time they figure it out, time has run out or the perpetrators have run away to find more narcissistic supply.
