My Sins Remembered

About the Book

In MY SINS REMEMBERED Vivian is immediately spellbound by her older, charismatic analyst, Dr. Berg. Within a short time what begins as therapy becomes seduction, which in turn, gradually evolves into an abusive affair. As Vivian struggles to extricate herself from Dr. Berg's hold, however, she begins to feel intimations of a history with her father from which she is compelled to flee. What follows is a disturbing portrayal of the dangers inherent in the therapy relationship, its intrinsic intimacy making it peculiarly susceptible to misconduct.
