This is the true story of the first woman to suc-

cessfully 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

Dr. Hartogs and, with the help of two idealistic

mate experiences, she exposed the unethical

practices of a trusted professional and made it

possible for others, caught in similar circum-

stances, to speak out.
