Fredericton psychologist Joan Wright is disputing many of the findings in a decision by the College of Psychologists of New Brunswick last week that saw her suspended for professional misconduct, incompetence and violating the boundaries of the psychologist-client relationship.
Her lawyer, Kelly Lamrock, filed an application for a judicial review and a request for an injunction with the Court of Queen s Bench on Tuesday to pause the suspension and allow Wright to continue to practise.
In an affidavit, Wright said the decision by the college had done irreparable harm to her and could also cause irreparable harm to her many patients who are now without a therapist.
