Rand v. Board of Psychology

In Rand v. Board of Psychology (2012) 206 Cal.App.4th 565, a psychologist was disciplined for unprofessional conduct while acting as special master regarding visitation and other matters in a divorce proceeding. (Id. at pp. 568-569.) The evidence showed the psychologist "met with and talked freely with" the father and his attorney, but "had minimal contact with the mother and refused to communicate with her attorney." (Id. at p. 583.) "Early in his tenure as special master," the psychologist told the mother "he no longer trusted her and informed her she would have to corroborate everything to him. The psychologist emailed her that he could not work with dishonesty and incorrectly accused her of perjury." (Id. at p. 569.)
