Therapists suddenly decide to leave without a good deal of warning, and I am left having to deal with a broken relationship.

I can tell you there is an abuse of authority in all situations where one is a vulnerable memeber. I had a Gynacologist inappropriately exam my vagina with his finger thrusting in and out. I say that to add some shock value to how far people of authority over the vulnerable will go. So please take this seriuosly, as I do. This is not my first incounter with abuse. Thank you.

It's in the business of stopping the personal transformation attendant to episodes, of defining distinctions of personality and thought and feeling as indicative of mental "illness", of acting as thought police in ushering in a brave new world.

Unfortunately PCT's have themselves covered so well from a legal standpoint, that when the patients die, they are free to make up their own stories.
Why is it that everyone can see the illness apart from her GP and so-called specialists that the PCT insist that she sees? Nurses, Ambulance drivers, private specialists and anyone with eyes have all seen it.

They misuse their expertise, power, position & authority to defend their abuse. Organisations like Witness/POPAN no longer take on cases, advocacy is often too weak, voluntary org'ns look the other way, self-referral for protection is declined, GP's do little, complaints systems are manipulative, nowhere to go for treatment but the abusers, etc. davidjones @ aol-mail DOT fsnet DOT co DOTuk.

]]> Fri, 1 Feb 2008 05:20:19 UTC 2921601 Miss Josie Aggio [Signature #34] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2678371?utm_medium=rss Unfortunately, abuse of vulnerable people by others in a position of power is all too common and therefore it is something that simply can no longer be denied. As psychological bodies, your intentions are coming from the right place - as you are offering a way for people to potentially encountering their "selves" and enrich their lives. But the process revolves around trust. And if a person is abusing that trust, they will cause harm. Surely, that simple fact should be addressed further.

They did anti-psychotic research on the workers illegally and admitted that they made it up entierly because the typical profit on a psychiatric drug is 4000%.

I was stonewalled., and kicked out of my GP surgery. I was referred to a consultant psychiatrist, who I have seen for 18 years, I have suffered emotional abuse from him too. As a result of suffering so badly from the emotional abuse and no one helping me with it. Social Services WRONGLY accused me of emotionally abusing my children, and tore my family apart and distroyed it. I pursued two sets of complaints against SS

More by good fortune than judgment I avoided therefore becoming part of any group which would 'validate' me, as a quid pro quo to my would be client, since he/she above all else, suffers comprehensively a long established well organised devalidating societal process.

I never had knowledge and awareness to give my consent. I was given a keyword for instant future hypnotic control. I am now accessed by strangers who are able to give me hypnotic commands. They always tell me to forget what happened while I was hypnotized. Now I cannot stop the covert hypnosis even though I know it is going on.

If agency is overstretched then should be mandatory that automatic immediate and direct funding be available to the victim to purchase equivalent services from the commerical sector. Support to address original condition, reaction to abuse, advocacy services, reaction to NHS complaint process.
