Emeritus Prof Christopher May

After yesterday's post about abuse in Tattoo studios, today we have accusations of abuse in the therapists chair....

What these disparate stories have in common is an abuse of inter-personal trust. Although in very different situations each involve victims putting their trust in someone who then (in various ways) abuses them.

Whatever regulatory responses result, this also offers a grim picture of how some people respond when they are trusted.
