Overview:
Today's diverse, fast-changing, multidisciplinary mental health care environment involves many mental health care
professionals who work together for the common goal of the patient. This includes physicians/psychiatrists,
psychiatric nurses, psychologists, and others. Nothing in health care is more fractured than in mental health among
a multitude of mental health practitioners.
Like physicians/psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, psychologists as health care practitioners obtained an
education, passed applicable examinations, completed professional training, and hold a license to practice their
chosen profession of psychology, often by being educated and trained at the doctoral level. The license to practice is
issued by the state agency which has exclusive jurisdiction over this health care practitioner.
Thereafter, the state's authority and power over the psychologist often presents challenges to that professional that
are not easy to navigate. Their governing state agency routinely handles, investigates, and dismisses- or prosecutes
- alleged violations of law that can be career ending for the psychologist if pursued. But that process takes time with
many steps necessary for due process of law.
One of the ultimate actions the state may take is to issue a suspension or revocation of the psychologist's
professional license. Yet many state actions fall short of such drastic outcomes, but still have serious, permanent
consequences for the psychologist as a licensed health care professional.
Learn to identify the legal authority for state agencies to regulate the practice of psychology. Seek to understand and
defend against state actions which may result in ruinous practice and career consequences for the health care
professional. This program offers an objective, thorough review of the ethical and legal violations committed by
psychologists. This program also reviews defenses with practice tips to defend successfully those common
violations. Otherwise, the psychologist likely suffers a fatal blow to his or her professional practice and career.
