| Very Scary.. Aussie shrink makes patient wear dog collar: Psychologist tells court his master-servant therapy was ethical Updated: Jan thirtieth Oh seven SYDNEY - An Australian psychologist charged with indecently assaulting a patient told a court on Tuesday that forcing his female patient to wear a dog collar and call him master was within a psychologist’s ethical guidelines. Psychologist Bruce Beaton, sixty-four, pleaded not guilty in the Western Australia District Court to four charges of indecently assaulting a twenty-two-year-old woman in Oh-five, local media reported. Beaton was arrested when police, who had been secretly video recording the session with the woman, heard whipping sounds, reported Australian Associated Press from the court. Beaton told the court he resorted to master-servant treatment with his bulimic patient because other methods had failed. He said he thought forcing the woman to wear a dog collar and call him master would build a more trusting relationship. He said such treatment was allowed by the Australian Psychological Society. “It is right within the ethical guidelines,” Beaton told the court. “I am not saying it would be all right if I hit her. I did not hit her,” he said. The trial continues. |

| Even WORSE, I saw someone totally go off and defend the shrink for doing this, saying he 'deserved a Medal' and they were totally serious.. |

| Wow Miss Done. Thanks for sharing this story. We all need to be careful that we don't allow anyone to mistreat us just because they are professionals and are supposed to know how to help us. We always need to listen to our instincts that will set off an alarm when we sense some sort of danger. We don't need to always believe others blindly just because they are educated in a certain area. That is just so very scary and the end does not ever justify the means. That's just inhumane and that psychologist needs to have his license stripped and he needs to get help for himself. |
