Fremantle psychologist uses Bondage to treat patients

[Brittany]

A former Fremantle psychologist who used bondage and discipline role-
playing to treat a 22-year-old bulimic woman has been ordered to see a
psychiatrist after arguing he should not face disciplinary proceedings
because he had post traumatic stress disorder since being cleared of
sexually assaulting the client.

Bruce Alistair Beaton was acquitted last year of unlawful and indecent
assault, and aggravated sexual penetration of the young woman, who
also claimed the psychologist whipped her with a homemade cat-o’-nine-
tails while treating her between January and March 2005.

Every psychologist is left to his or her own imagination as to what is
to be used as a "therapy". If they had a workable technology to help
people, they wouldn't all need to be trying new and unworkable
methods. Until psychology can actually help someone, there will
probably be more incidents like the one described above.

Ummmmm what part of acquitted did you not understand in the story.
This means in simple terms for you that a jury did not belive he was
guilty of the charges. So all this post did was make it seem the
doctor was wrong and evil when in fact the courts and a jury agreed he
wasn't .
