There are many reasons why someone might see a psychologist, ranging from panic attacks, suicidal ideation, to couples therapy, brain injury assessment, assessment for disability, anger management, etc. The new BC legislation threatens access to treatment and assessment because the government has taken over the regulation of the profession. In so doing, they have indicated that any complaints will be investigated by a committee including only one psychologist. Other people on the committee might be lay people or members of another profession. Psychologists are concerned about these changes for many reasons.
