IMMORAL
ADVISORS Condoning Criminality
The high rate of criminal convictions for mental health �professionals� disproves
any claimed expertise in understanding the human psyche. A review of more than
800 convictions of psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists between
1998 and 2004 reveals that 43% of the convictions were for fraud, theft and
embezzlement; 32% for sex crimes and 6% for manslaughter and murder. Some examples
include:
BJARNE SKOVSAGER
A Danish psychologist, Skovsager was sentenced to six years
in prison in 2002 for numerous and severe sexual abuses�including sodomy and
indecent exposure against three boys between the ages of seven and 11.
DONALD PERSSON
Persson, a Utah psychologist, described himself as a �moral� person when he
was sentenced in 1993 to 10 years imprisonment for the rape of a 12-year-old
girl. Evidence indicated he may have sexually abused as many as 16 young girls�several
under the age of five�since 1975.
ANTONIO DEGUZMAN
DeGuzman, a Massachusetts adolescent psychiatrist, was sentenced to 3-4 years
in prison, with 15 years probation for fondling three young male patients.
CHRISTOPHER ALLISON
Psychiatrist Allison from the UK was jailed for 10 years in 2002 for the rape
and sexual abuse of six patients.
