À propos de cet audio

Psychiatrists are held to a high standard for a reason: they see patients at their most vulnerable and are entrusted with their deepest secrets. So, what happens if a psychiatrist is accused of violating that trust?

The Oath examines the case of Dr. Melvyn Iscove, whose medical license was revoked in 2018 for allegedly sexually abusing two patients. When journalist Krysia Collyer first came across Dr. Iscove's case, it seemed straightforward -- until she and her co-producer, Brennan Leffler, began digging.

What happened to those two patients was only part of a long, unusual story involving Iscove's dedication to a largely forgotten 1950s psychoanalyst who believed homosexuality could be cured. The case raises serious questions about Ontario's medical regulator: Can it be trusted to protect patients, and how does it handle potential cases of so-called "conversion therapy"?

From TVO Podcasts, The Oath is a six-part investigative series about the power we give our doctors -- and what can happen if they cross a line. Follow The Oath on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.
