ZWOLLE, 30/08/08 - The Regional Disciplinary Council for Healthcare in Zwolle has produced a positive verdict on a clinic that treated a sexual offender by allowing a therapist to have sex with him.
The sexual offender involved had complained to the council against the psychiatrist and the psychologist who thought up the experiment. He felt humiliated by having sex with the therapist. According to the council, it was however a question of "careful medical-scientific research."
The 30 year old man was treated in the Pompe clinic, a so-called TBS clinic - for serious criminals regarded as non compos mentis by courts. He was held there for a serious sexual offence.
In 1998 and 1999, the man agreed to an alternative treatment method, under which he was given sexual treatment under supervision. The man claims he has now suffered irreparable psychological damage from this.
A therapist hired by the clinic had contact 10 to 20 times with the man. They both lay naked and masturbated.
The psychiatrist who devised the experiment was at the time the clinic's head therapist. The Regional Disciplinary Council concludes that the method according to present knowledge shows "deficiencies." But the psychiatrist is not subject to any disciplinary blame, according to the council.
The method was also applied to other sexual offenders between 1995 and 1999. The clinic stopped the experiment in 1999 after one of the 'treated' TBS patients, once back in society, again committed a sexual offence.

Medical practices in the Netherlands have taken a turn for the worse in recent years, wouldn’t you agree?
I think there’s a career in politics for the both of them...
That's not sex.
uuuuuuhhhh ummmm errrr mmmmmm K
You just can’t make this stuff up can you?
newsflash!
In a related story, convicted wife beaters were given therapy by forcing them to whip masochists with a riding crop. The treatment program was discontinued when it was found that a released patient went home to beat his wife to death./s
Is the therapist he or she?
The punishment would certainly fit the crime, if you ask me.

I was just thinking that. I'll bet it was a man, based on the fact that the male patient claims he was traumatized. Most men, one ventures to say, are going to feel positively about lying around with a naked woman.
“Tonight for your therapy we’re going to drink wine, smoke pot and watch porno”...
“Oh. So that’s what you feel is your problem?”
Dare I ask for pics?
The more I hear about the Netherlands, the happier I am my great-grandparents left there in the 1890’s.

These people DESERVE to be taken over by the koran animals
Unnngh. I didn’t see any Dutch women who looked like that when I was there, though!
At least no one in the Netherlands has to choose between buying food or getting medical treatment.
