Newport, RI Legal Support For Victims Of Psychotherapist Sexual Groping & Abuse

by PRC Agency PR

Sexual abuse on the part of a psychotherapist toward a patient, whether in the form of touching, groping, drug-facilitated exploitation, or sexual involvement is a life-changing, traumatic, and highly damaging event perpetrated through a significant power imbalance.

If you've been victimized in this way, you may still be struggling to make sense of it all. How did a professional relationship go so terribly wrong, and where does this leave you?

What's important to remember is:

  1. You are not responsible for what occurred, and
  2. You can seek healing and justice through restitution.

DON'T LET THE WINDOW CLOSE ON YOUR RIGHT FOR COMPENSATION

Did you know that under Rhode Island law, there is a three-year limit for filing sexual abuse and violation of care claims against perpetrators in a clinical or medical setting, but no cap on damages?

Dan Lipman, Esq. draws on his many years of experience as a sexual abuse and medical malpractice lawyer to help those in Newport and neighboring Rhode Island communities find restitution for the patient-therapist sexual exploitation they experienced. And he can do the same for you.

“Sadly, patients most likely to be victimized by their therapists are those who’ve developed a deeply trusting relationship, making events of this type particularly insidious. While the majority of psychotherapists are principled, the few who exploit an implicit power imbalance and their patients’ vulnerabilities not only cause untold emotional damage to the victim, but they also undermine the profession as a whole.”

Lipman says that in his experience, the progression from a professional therapist-patient relationship to one of sexual exploitation generally begins with boundary violations that can seem benign at first. Over time, the patient may struggle to reduce cognitive dissonance as their questions or concerns about the therapist’s behavior are alleviated by reassurances from a professional they’ve been conditioned to trust.

The problem, says Lipman, is that if a psychotherapist is to be effective in treating a patient for their emotional problems or mental illness, the patient must believe in the therapist’s advice and specialized knowledge.

THE INSIDIOUS POWER IMBALANCE

Patients indoctrinated by a predatorial therapist’s expertise in undermining their instincts can find it difficult to seek justice however, holding parties accountable for violations of their position is imperative, says Lipman. As a committed and compassionate sexual abuse lawyer, Lipman’s key objective is to uphold your rights as a victim of abuse.

With extensive experience litigating a range of sexual abuse cases, Dan Lipman offers the highest standards of legal support along with the benefit of an extensive Abuse Guardian network of resources you can count on.

Now's the time to take the first steps in pursuing the justice, healing, and compensation you deserve.
