She was a special case. Her family was murdered in their home when she was ten. Whoever did it took Dana and tortured her for months. She was found one day naked and bleeding, wandering the streets. Barely functional, nearly catatonic ever since.
―Dr. Rabinaw[src]

Doctor Rabinaw was Dana's doctor while she was a patient in the psychiatric ward of a Los Angeles hospital.

Rabinaw secretly video recorded all his sessions with Dana with the intent of later using the material to publish a book about her, capitalizing on her extreme misfortunes which lead to her psychological deterioration.
