Is it important to retain an attorney who specializes in therapist abuse cases?
Yes. Therapist abuse cases differ from other types of personal injury cases and even other types of malpractice cases. Concepts of transference, the therapeutic container and breach of boundaries are unique and it is important that your attorney is familiar with the concepts. Many attorneys who are unfamiliar with therapist abuse cases would simply assume that a sexual relationship with a therapist was consentual and would not understand the extent of damages which you have suffered.
