Psychologist used unproven ‘energy medicine’ to touch patient
A psychologist who touched a patient while delivering ‘energy medicine’ therapy and then tried to instigate a personal relationship has been reprimanded and disqualified for two years.
The patient was referred to the female psychologist in October 2016 under a GP mental health plan, for help with his excessive alcohol consumption, depression, anxiety and stress, according to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
