Top Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Newport, RI Expands Services to Assist Victims of Sexual Abuse by Psychotherapists

Attorney Dan Lipman, a renowned medical malpractice and sexual abuse lawyer, has extended his legal services to provide representation to victims of sexual abuse by psychotherapists in Newport, RI. The expansion aims to help survivors of unwanted touching, groping, drug-facilitated exploitation, and intimate relations seek justice.

Under Rhode Island law, there is a three-year statute of limitations for filing sexual abuse and violation of care claims against perpetrators in a clinical or medical setting. However, there is no cap on damages. Lipman, an Abuse Guardian attorney and member of the national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers, brings his years of experience to support individuals who have experienced therapist-patient sexual exploitation.

Lipman emphasizes that individuals most vulnerable to sexual victimization by their therapists are those who have developed a trusting relationship. He acknowledges that while most psychotherapists are principled, the few who exploit the power imbalance and vulnerability of their patients not only cause emotional harm but also undermine the entire profession.

Lipman explains that the journey from a professional therapist-patient relationship to sexual exploitation often starts with seemingly benign boundary violations. Over time, patients may struggle to confront concerns about their therapist's behavior due to dependence and trust.

To seek justice and hold parties accountable for violating their position, Lipman encourages victims to stand up against predator therapists. With his extensive experience and the support of the Abuse Guardian network, Lipman offers high standards of legal assistance to those seeking healing, compensation, and justice.

Under Rhode Island law, there is a three-year limit for filing sexual abuse and violation of care claims against perpetrators in a clinical or medical setting, but no cap on damages. Dan Lipman, Esq., a member of the national alliance of sexual abuse lawyers Abuse Guardian, now brings his many years of experience as a sexual abuse and medical malpractice lawyer to those in Newport and neighboring communities who’ve experienced therapist-patient sexual exploitation.

“Sadly, patients most likely to be sexually victimized by their therapists are those who’ve developed a deeply trusting relationship, making events of this type particularly insidious,” says Lipman. “While the majority of psychotherapists are principled, the few who exploit an implicit power imbalance and their patients’ vulnerabilities not only cause untold emotional damage to the victim, but they also undermine the profession as a whole.”

Lipman says that in his experience, the progression from a professional therapist-patient relationship to one of sexual exploitation generally begins with boundary violations that can seem benign at first. Over time, the patient may struggle to reduce cognitive dissonance as their questions or concerns about the therapist’s behavior are alleviated by reassurances from a professional they’ve been conditioned to trust.

The problem, says Lipman, is that if a psychotherapist is to be effective in treating a patient for their emotional problems or mental illness, the patient must believe in the therapist’s advice and specialized knowledge.

Patients indoctrinated by a predatorial therapist’s expertise in undermining their instincts can find it difficult to seek justice however, holding parties accountable for violations of their position is imperative, says Lipman. As a committed and compassionate sexual abuse lawyer, Lipman’s key objective is to uphold the rights of abuse victims.

With extensive experience litigating a range of sexual abuse cases, Dan Lipman offers the highest standards of legal support along with the benefit of an extensive Abuse Guardian network of resources to those taking the first steps in pursuing justice, healing, and compensation.

Raising connected kids

For many parents today, handing a child a first mobile phone feels like a milestone wrapped in mixed emotions. On one hand, it offers reassurance. A quick message after school, a call during an emergency or an easier way to coordinate family schedules can provide peace of mind. On the other, it opens the door to a digital world children are navigating at increasingly younger ages. As online learning, messaging, streaming and gaming become part of everyday childhood, parents face an important question: How can they give their children the independence they need while still providing proper guidance? The answer may lie not in limiting technology altogether, but in introducing it thoughtfully and building healthy digital habits together. Children need to understand that having a mobile phone comes with responsibilities, from managing their data and screen time to choosing appropriate content and communicating safely online. Parents, meanwhile, need practical ways to remain involved without constantly hovering over their children’s digital activities. One option available to families is Globe’s GPlan Junior, a postpaid line designed for dependents ages 7 to 20. Offered as an additional line under an eligible Globe Postpaid plan, it allows parents or legal guardians to manage their child’s connectivity while giving young users room to communicate, learn and access age-appropriate digital experiences. The plan includes unlimited calls and texts, 100 minutes of landline calls and 10GB of all-access data with rollover and data-swap features. It also provides access to Messenger Kids and Mobile Legends, as well as selected video, social and gaming apps. Families can choose one app from each category, with options including YouTube Kids, Netflix, Disney+, Viu, Viber, WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord, PUBG and Call of Duty. Through the GlobeOne app, parents can monitor data usage, check remaining allocations, manage Data Swap options and choose their child’s unlimited apps. A parent-managed postpaid account also removes the need to regularly reload credits or keep track of expiring promotions. More importantly, such tools can become starting points for conversations about responsible technology use instead of serving merely as restrictions. “As children become more connected, parents are looking for solutions that keep up with their family’s evolving needs,” said Jo Anne Illescas-Pique, senior director for Globe Postpaid. Digital responsibility can also extend to money management. Eligible GPlan Junior subscribers who successfully register for GCash Jr. may receive GCash vouchers, providing parents with another opportunity to teach their children how to save, spend and manage digital money within a supervised environment.
