re: the Indiana license — if he let it expire, I doubt it would say “non-renewable.” That indicates to me that whatever he did means he will not be allowed to practice in Indiana again.

Then, consider that in the span of only 3-4 years, he worked in at least three different practices in Naples before he set up his “healing institute.”

Further, I have learned that his licensing is in geriatrics — not psychiatry, and certainly not addiction psychiatry, which is what his “healing institute” is set up to do.

You’ll be interested in my follow up experience with this man: http://trishatorrey.com/2008/04/28/the-bully-psychiatrist-from-naples-fl-follow-up-and-lessons-learned/

I was easily able to find the only healing institute in Naples, Florida, and track this down a little.

While his license is expired in Indiana, his license, at least according to the State of Florida licensing board website is in full effect.

I note that there might not be anything sinister in this, by itself. He may have simply moved to Florida for the warmer weather, and let his Indiana license expire rather than pay the fee. There are no records of discipline that I could find on this shrink at this time in either Indiana or Florida. Further investigation may turn up something, but it does not look promising.

While I am unsympathetic to psychiatrists in general, it seems that this one, for the time being, is off the hook, since the nurse in question has been tarred with the brush of being slightly crazy herself, and other evidence is currently lacking.

I agree that his actions were heavy handed, and could have been more well thought out.
