The Psychology in practice Ontario, and many other North American Regulation is required for western jurisdictions and eastern countries. “professional colleges” — essentially governmental organizations with a mandate to protect the public from misconduct on the part of physicians, lawyers, social workers, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, architects and many others, including (and most relevant to me) clinical psychologists.

Anyone Anybody anywhere on the planet can lodge a complaint with these regulatory bodies for any reason. The It is the responsibility of each college to determine if a complaint is serious or credible enough to warrant further investigation. Complaints can be deemed frivolous or vexatious and should be discarded. When If the college decides that it wants to move forward, this is a serious decision, which is basically equivalent to a lawsuit. The Ontario College of Psychologists In fact, such circumstances warrant legal counsel.

The Ontario College Of Psychologists Since my rise in public prominence six years back, a lot of these lawsuits have been filed against me (although none in the 20-plus years that I worked as a psychologist). These As of late, they have multiplied and now number more that a dozen. This may seem like a lot (and “where there’s smoke there’s fire,” People think so. I will however point out that it is hard to communicate with as many people as possible and to say anything of substance without at least a few people being offended.

For my crimes, I have been sentenced to a course of mandatory social media communication training with the college’s so-called experts (although social media communication training is not a scientific and certainly not a clinical specialty of any standing).

If I refuse — and I have (of course) refused — the next step is a mandatory public disciplinary session/inquiry and the possible suspension of my clinical licence (all of which will be also announced publicly).

I should also note that the college’s actions already taken are the second-most serious response to my transgressions. I have been classified as a repeat offender with high potential for repetition.

What What have I done that is so unprofessional that it poses a threat not only to my potential clients, but also to the public? It It’s difficult to tell the difference with some of the complaints. One involved the submission of the entire transcript from a three-hour discussion about the Joe Rogan Podcast), but here are some examples to give you some concern.
