More than seven years ago, Toronto psychiatrist Dr. Melvyn Iscove lost his medical license for allegedly sexually abusing two of his male patients – allegations he continues to deny.
One patient alleges that Dr. Iscove tried to convince him he was gay, despite his repeated denials. The other sought therapy for depression and anxiety, which he believed were linked to fears about his sexuality. Dr. Iscove's treatment for both was influenced by the theories of Dr. Edmund Bergler--a largely forgotten psychoanalyst who claimed homosexuality could be cured.
