Psychologists' Misconduct is Common Occurrence
Press Release by Darryl Ward
"The serious
misconduct of senior psychologist Prue Vincent, who appears to have convinced a
child that they had been sexually abused by their father when they had not, is
nothing new and is indeed a common occurrence in the psychological
'profession'", Familes Apart Require Equality
(FARE) spokes person Darryl Ward said today.
"It is no secret that lawyers and psychologists and other so-called
professionals who make their living from the Family Court are expected to toe
the politically correct line, such as believing in universal male abuse to the
extent of having a witch-hunt mentality, as well as accepting all other
feminist mythology without question. Those who fail to follow such policies
appear to be covertly prevented from getting Government paid work in the Family
Court."
"We know of numerous examples of cases of psychologists convincing
children that they had been sexually abused by their fathers when they had not
been. In some cases children who had exhibited signs of bed-wetting, a common
childhood phenomenon, were asked such questions by psychologists as 'where did
your father touch you', and when the children replied that they had not, the
answers were ignored."
"Thus it is no surprise that Vincent will be allowed to continue to
practice, given that a significant number of other Court-appointed
psychologists are guilty of the same misconduct, and if she goes, it will set a
precedent for the rest of her profession to be accountable for the harm they
have done to our children", concluded Ward.
