Captive: The Chronology of Professional Incest

"You abused me in the exact way my father abused me." Ruti hurled at Nuri, her therapist. And that was her first step on her long journey toward recovery.Ruti's story is one of a childhood incest survivor, who again fell victim to sexual exploitation. This time by a professional person--her therapist. Therapy is supposed to be a safe haven for a hurt person, but Nuri cruelly betrays Ruti.This original book unfolds in direct, authentic writing and without making concessions to herself and the readers--a story that concerns us all. Ruti breaks an unwritten taboo and describes a painful and destructive phenomenon within the professional community, which is silenced in a similar way to the silence and silencing in cases of abuse within the family.The publication of Ruti Gavish's book Captive, as a chronicle of incest, lays out before us a painful experience... Her therapist's inappropriate behavior constitutes a gross violation of ethics by a professional person, crossing the lines and abusing the trust and vulnerability of a patient at their lowest... Ruti's book is an important warning sign for patients in need, for therapists who are heartless, mentally damaged or lack knowledge, and for all of us.... Ruti wrote an important book. Within its pages, she defeated evil.--Professor Rivka Yahav, Haifa University, former chairwoman of the Israeli psychotherapy associationRuti's story allows a personal touch for every reader, urging him to be in her shoes in those moments of betrayal and ruination of the world's order...the courage, inner honesty, exposure, boldness, sensitivity and, Ruti's talented writing allow the reader to feel the pain and complexity of the subject."--Na'ama Bar-Sade, senior clinical psychologist and counselor in psychotherapy
