The unusual case of an alleged fake psychologist working with the Ottawa Police Service has taken another surprising turn. The Crown prosecutor has withdrawn a charge of public mischief against a clinical psychologist after he made an about-face admission.
Caderette said that in 2007 she had her police-issued firearm taken away and was ordered to see a psychologist shortly after complaining to then-police chief Vern White about experiencing sexual harassment and bullying within her platoon. She said she saw a therapist for five one-hour sessions in a windowless medical examination room on the University of Ottawa campus.Police officer says she never met therapist involved in impersonator caseConst.
"That would be, first of all, atypical and highly unethical and not something that I can imagine any psychologist engaging in," Frey said last summer. "I want to be clear that I didn't assess her." White, who is now a senator, became familiar with Frey's work while working for the RCMP in Nunavut. The psychologist was often in the North helping officers cope with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Campbell said memory is fallible and that therapists will not necessarily remember all their patients unless there are circumstances that stand out. But she said fit-for-duty assessments need to be done with the utmost care, because they can impact an officer's job trajectory.
