Inside dust jacket:
This is the true story of the first woman to successfully sue her psychiatrist for using sex in the guise of therapy.
After Julie Roy’s marriage was shattered, she got involved in a lesbian experience that added to her troubles. Julie, in despair, turned for help to Dr. Renatus Hartogs. As part of her therapy, the 60-year-old doctor induced the 31-year-old woman to enter into a strange sexual relationship with him. For a time Julie seemed to mend; then, abruptly, the doctor broke off the relationship. Her condition deteriorated gravely. She was hospitalized twice, and she needed extensive therapy from other doctors to enable her to rebuild her life.
Then Julie Roy did an unusual and courageous thing. She brought a legal action against Dr. Hartogs and, with the help of two idealistic young lawyers, took the stand in a controversial trial of the kind that often makes the victim seem guilty. In making public her most intimate experiences, she exposed the unethical practices of a trusted professional and made it possible for others, caught in similar circumstances, to speak out.
Betrayal tells of the events that led Julie Roy to seek psychiatric help; her relationship with Dr. Hartogs and its termination; the trial itself, including the testimony of other psychiatrists in support of Julie’s claims; the landmark verdict that made front-page headlines around the world; the judge’s conclusion that “a patient must not be fair game for a lecherous doctor.”
Julie’s story is told with compassion and sensitivity by Lucy Freeman. Ms. Freeman’s recounting of her own analysis, “Fight Against Fears”, was a bestseller. Formerly a reporter for The New York Times, she has written most than forty books, many of them in the field of psychoanalysis.
