Abstract
A new treatment centre in North Dakota specializes in treating professionals whose careers are in tatters because they have sexually abused patients or clients. The program was founded by a doctor whose own licence was revoked because of sexual abuse, and its clinical program director is a Canadian. It is designed to help professionals come to terms with sexual addictions in whatever form they occur. Dr. Larry Ohlhauser, registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, says the college will consider treatment programs for sexual addiction as a starting point for beginning the reinstatement process for a doctor whose licence has been revoked, but it must be convinced there will be no recurrence before a licence would be reissued.
