No we are not over interpreting what she said. Under California law she is not allowed to use “research psychologist” or for that matter the term “psychologist” at all. This is due to the fact that she is NOT licensed as a psychologist in any state. Using either term makes people believe that she is a psychologist. That is why Stanford changed her bio. They changed it to “Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences”. They scrubbed her bio because if the CA state Board of Psychology wanted to, I doubt they will, they could come in and fine both the college and Ford. I’m hoping someone has filed a complaint with the board. What Ford-I refuse to call her a doctor-did by using “psychologist” in her title was make everyone think she is a psychologist when in actual fact she is a statistician that reviews psychology research. I’m a licensed health professional for 24 years and, until this article, I was under the impression she was a licensed psychologist who did research. Now I know she is just a Phd that only teaches and does research. And what’s that saying: Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
