A 23-year-old Arlington woman who accused her psychiatrist of physically abusing her during "rage reduction" therapy won an $8.4 million judgment Tuesday. Human rights advocates said they hope the ruling will prompt the Legislature to ban the treatment statewide. The court found Dr. Robert H. Gross responsible for assaulting and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on Jeannie Warren while treating her at the now-defunct Psychiatric Institute of Fort Worth.
