[quote=Anonymous]I too was one of his female patients, and I agree with the above poster's assessments. Here are mine.

1). He is very kind and has good intentions.

However,

2) Group therapy was useless unless you spoke up. There was no guidance from him, nor was it therapeutic. It was a mostly a "what did you do this week?" which is monopolized by 2 or 3 people. Their struggles were different from mine and since there was nothing in common that we shared, I learned nothing to improve my situation. In fact, it was a waste of time.

3) He called women sexy, including myself, which made me uncomfortable. Having been sexually abused, I am very uncomfortable when the term rape applied to me. During individual therapy I was shocked to hear him say "You were raped"; I wasn't ready to hear the R-word. I found that very insensitive.

4) He quickly made assumptions about why I felt bad instead of hearing me out.

5) He did not remember the medication nor the dosage--which is understandable since he doesn't take down notes.

He does have good intentions though. Therapist-patient relations can be tricky and I have seen good reviews about him on the internet. [/quote]
