Psychiatrists
make up only six percent of all doctors, yet they account for
thirty three percent of all the sexual crimes committed by
doctors. In fact, the percentage of sexual molestation by
psychiatrists is thirty-seven times greater than that of the
general public. Psychiatrists themselves say that sixty five
percent of their new patients tell them they have been sexually
abused by their former psychiatrists. Eighty percent of
psychiatrists who have sexual relations with their patients do so
with more than one patient.
Take the case of Canadian psychiatrist John Orpin. He was
convicted of raping and sodomizing his female patients during
their drug hypnosis therapy sessions. Orpin counseled his female
patients that his penis was itself a healing staff and his anal
rape of them "unconditional love."
These cases are horrific, but they are not isolated.
Current estimates are that 150,000 women have been sexually abused
by their psychiatrists in the United States alone.
The further toll on these women?
1500 have committed suicide. Another 21,000 have tried to commit
suicide. |
Another 16,000 ended
up hospitalized because of the harm caused from this violation by
their psychiatrist. Women are not only statistically in high
danger of being raped by their psychiatrists, they are far more
likely than a man to be drugged by him as well.
A 1994 study showed that women are
three times more likely than men to be prescribed drugs for
exactly the same symptoms. |
If drugs
don't make them forget a sexual assault by their psychiatrist, 460
volts of electricity through their temples might. Ask the 36
year-old Glendale, California woman who sued her psychiatrist in
1984 for doing exactly that to her for exactly that reason.
Ninety percent of psychiatrists are
male and it was this group who originally coined the word
"hysteria" for a
"mental illness." |
And
profitably for the scant $12 of electricity it takes to administer
those 660,000 electric shock treatments each year, psychiatrist receive $5
billion in return.
Who Are
These guys?
These men would seem to be
the least likely people we should entrust our mental health to.
Psychiatrists have the
highest suicide rate of any profession, a rate twice the average
of medical professionals.
An estimated twenty five percent commit sexual crimes.
Of 800 psychiatrists convicted of a crime, forty three percent
were convicted of fraud, theft and embezzlement.
U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder, (CO) Chairwoman of the 1992
House Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, said that
she found that psychiatrists have implemented "a systematic plan
to bilk patients of their hard-earned dollars, strip them of their
dignity, and leave them worse off than they were before they went
for help." And those were the patients who were not subjected to
any sexual assault. |
|
Currently there are twice as many female psychiatric patients as
men and half of these women are on psychiatric drugs.
In fact, in North America two thirds
of all psychotropic drugs are prescribed to women.
In United States 660,000 people receive electric shock therapy
annually. Two thirds of them are women. |
Today it
is this male dominated field that labels women with the "mental
illness" of "premenstrual dysphoric disorder" ("dysphoric" merely
means "ill feeling"). As
noted, a surprisingly large percentage of these men apparently
used their psychiatric licenses to feed their unhealthy sexual
appetites-legally.
