"A PSYCHOLOGIST who had sex with a convicted armed robber a year after she stopped treating him had not harmed nor exploited the man, a court heard yesterday.

James Crowley, QC, was making submissions in the Court of Appeal in Brisbane on behalf of Susan Maureen Robinson, 34, who in May was suspended from practising for six months by the Health Practitioners Tribunal.

The tribunal's Judge Deborah Richards also placed restrictions on Robinson re-applying to the Psychologists Board of Queensland after she was found guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct by having sex with Mark Robert Nolan a year after she stopped counselling him.

The court heard Robinson treated convicted armed robber Nolan, 25, at Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre in Wacol, southwest of Brisbane, in June 1999."

1. This just reinforces my sense that

therapists vary in ethical, professional and personal aspects. I suppose if she was not charging for the sessions then no harm was done.


So.... Well we need to stop now. When do you want to schedule the next appointment ?
