Dr. Joseph Silverman built a name for himself treating girls for anorexia. But patients in his care allege he raped them repeatedly

Photo: MCNY/Gottscho-Schleisner/Getty Images One thing that stands out to Susan Kryhoski about her first meeting with Dr. Joseph Silverman is how boastful he seemed, how confident he was in his recommendations, and how insistent. It was 1992, and she was 11 years old, sitting in his office at the recommendation of her pediatrician.

His words made an impression: Kryhoski says she kept what happened secret for more than a decade, only telling a therapist about his alleged abuse in her mid-20s. Though Silverman died in 2012, on Thursday, Kryhoski filed a lawsuit against NewYork-Presbyterian and 20 of its unnamed employees, citing negligence and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

For Kryhoski, the widespread failure to question Silverman’s methods feels like complicity. Her lawsuit alleges that the signs of abuse should have been visible to the people entrusted with her care, and that they had a duty to protect “vulnerable” child patients. If staff were not aware of Silverman’s behavior, then they should’ve been, Kryhoski’s suit contends — particularly because he allegedly did the same thing to Declercq more than a decade earlier.

One Sunday, during her parents’ weekly visit, she tried to tell them what was going on, not knowing Silverman had prepared them for this possibility. “This is coming, trust me. She’s going to say I’m doing these things. I assure you I’m not,” she says he told her parents, who believed him. In hindsight, she understands why: They were distraught, and here was a doctor warning them that “girls are dying all the time,” heavily implying that she might, too, if they removed her from his care.
