In April 2006 the Seattle Times ran a series under the title "License to Harm" exposing sexual abuse in the field of medicine in the the State of Washington. Using their online database of offenders, we were able to generate a list of those practitioners who are/were involved in the field of mental health in some capacity.
Out of 443 original complaints in the database, 159 were from the field of mental health. This is more than one third of all complaints, which is more than their fair share of the offenses.
These we detail below. We have preserved the individual links to the online database for each person in the list below. These are sorted by Specialty first, then by Name
