Psychiatrist Who Made Baseless Claim Against Trump Has Expired Medical License
Conservative Daily News ^ | Jan 12, 2018 | Jim Clayton

The Yale University psychology professor who “called in” her conclusion that President Trump was “mentally impaired” was recently criticized for ignoring well-established protocol. She made her diagnosis without ever actually examining the president. Now she faces additional criticism for another professional faux pas.

It appears that Professor Bandy Lee is not currently licensed to practice psychology in her own state of Connecticut.

Campus Reform discovered that Lee’s “physician/surgeon” license in Connecticut expired more than two years ago — on May 31, 2015 — and she hasn’t applied for a renewal since then.

In addition, Lee’s “controlled substance registration for practitioner” license expired nearly a year ago — in February of 2017.

In response to Campus Reform’s inquiry on the matter, Lee simply stated that “I need only one license,” though she has yet to elaborate on precisely which license that is, and, according to the state in which she resides, she allegedly has none.

Lee didn’t merely publish her “diagnosis” — she took it to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers. Yale News reported:

On Dec. 5 and 6, Lee met with more than a dozen congressmen, including one Republican senator, Politico reported. In her presentation, Lee relied on the assessments of 27 mental health professionals, compiled in the book she edited, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.” Though she could not diagnose Trump without a formal evaluation, she said, Trump’s recent behavior shows that he may be a danger to the American public

What, like you expected me read the whole thing ?!

Not worth your time. Whoever wrote this article is demented. The author doesn't know the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. This woman is not a physician/surgeon. She is a psychologist. She will be censured, probably by her state licensing board and by the APA.

My layman's agreement that talk has a much better chance at getting to the root of problems.

NGU, yes, I saw/focused on the 'psychologist' reference first.
Please don't trow me in da briar patch !

No matter what her accreditation or licenses are, she’s grossly incompetent, unethical, and a witless Progressive bimbo.

I have seen mentioned in several reports that she has been trying to now renew her license. Since her remote analysis is not only unethical according the APA but very embarrassing to the profession, hopefully she will never get her license back.

I guess, since technically, she wasn’t a psychiatrist at the time, she wasn’t violating any doctor-behavior laws. Right?

What a great idea......find a willing liberal shrink doctor that doesn’t have anything like a practice or license to lose to make a public announcement that the POTUS is mentally ill.

Psychologists can’t prescribe.

I'll bet that "psychologist" is being used incorrectly in this piece.Reference to a "physician/surgeon" license having expired indicates that this person has an MD or DO degree.Reference to a "prescribing license" having expired also does so.

Actually some psychologists can prescribe. They need special training and license.
