In reply to Another psychiatrist suicides....................., posted by ace on October 17, 2005, at 3:35:00
It's all about common sense. I am prepared to here the most horrid depraved stories and see the most sickest unwell folk out there. But there is two sides of the coin. With despair, pain, anguish, we must see a tremendous opportunity for growth and seize that.
Dr. Malcom Dent was very depressed at the time of the intercourse incidents. He was using both psychotropics and psychotherapy. He was under extreme pressure. But what about common sense? First, take a break from the practice. Second, sort one thing slowly at a time etc etc....of course this is a lot easier once the AD has kicked in (esp if it is Nardil!!) He was also implicated in defrauding the courts....again...common-sense...Don't lie.....you learn that in Kindy!!!
But may he rest in peace.
I am not scared in the least of being a psychiatrist. I would never ever have sex with any patient or have any intimate relationship. Strictly professional, but still warm and gentle.
To one person who responded (sorry! forgot who!)- it wasn't just public disgrace that prompted the suicide, it was depression and pressure induce by the job.....
