Leuven University has suspended psychiatrist Walter Vandereycken after the lecturer made public the fact that for years he had improper sexual relations with patients.

Walter Vandereycken lectures at the Psychology and Pedagogical Sciences Faculty of Leuven University.

Leuven Rector Mark Waer: “The facts are dreadful and I don’t understand how this didn’t come out earlier and how somebody with an international reputation did this. It reminds me of the affair involving the former Bishop of Bruges. Again it’s about a public figure who abused his power in a back room.”
