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

Has she been prescribing medications with an expired license, in violation of state law ?

Psychologists can’t prescribe.

Reminds me of Sawyer from “Miracle on 34th St.”

He could stand a good rap from a cane.

Oops. Well, you know, it’s the seriousness of the charge that’s important...

The headline is screwy then because it states “psychiatrist.”

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

A massive break with FR tradition, obviously  ;-)

And actually yes, I see now that there are a couple different 'titles' applied to the cow.

Enquiring minds want to know. *I* want to know. I don’t love coming down to their level (actually doesn’t bother me a BIT) but we need to doxx this bitch to the fullest extent of social media.

Guess she must stayed at a Holiday Inn the night before she 'called in' her ill informed analysis of DJT. 😂

She is a psychiatrist which presumes she has an MD. Read the article before spouting off. Her license to prescribe is ExPIRED not nonexistent. So, has she been writing prescriptions?

Well before you spout off at me, maybe you'd notice that there's more than one reference in the above to 'psychologist', hence my initial blunder.

My understanding is that she is a (MD) psychiatrist who has not renewed her license to practice since 2011. That might make sense for someone who is a tenured professor, but she is not tenured.

She is a marginal player who cannot practice psychiatry nor should she be teaching it.

We are finding that talk therapy, especially of the cognitive behavioral variety, which means having the patient challenge the negative and defeating thoughts in their heads, is superior to “chemotherapy” in which the doctor is introducing drugs, the mechanisms and pathways of which are dimly or entirely not understood. It’s turning into a lopsided argument. Talk therapy works. Drug therapy controls symptoms. They even admit it. Try to find a drug therapy advocate that doesn’t prescribe talk therapy to go along with their Drug-Of-Choice.

“Psychologists can’t prescribe.”

True, but she’s an M.D.
