A Melbourne psychiatrist twice banned for making sexual advances on female patients is fighting to regain his medical registration.
Alfred Harold Leitmanis was struck off the medical register in January 2004 after he allegedly told a patient he dreamed of having sex with her and took her to his house where he tried to kiss her.
Dr Leitmanis had told the woman’s GP he believed she suffered from low self-esteem and sought approval through sexual relationships after she was referred to him in April 2002.
