“There are very strict legal requirements in the state of California” I laugh and i cry
I get the irony (LOL) but here’s the deal:
During her testimony Dr. Ford referred to herself as a research psychologist.
The state of California has very specific prohibitions regarding use of the term psychologist. The California BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE, SECTION 2900-2919 clearly states that professors and other academicians can perform psychological activities but they cannot refer to themselves as a psychologist (or other closely related terms) if they are not licensed as such.
