As it happens, I heard this Background Briefing radio documentary yesterday about a stunningly unprofessional approach taken by a psychologist doing "family therapy". I was appalled at what it revealed.
What's worse, she is one of the scores of psychologists around Australia who write key reports for the Family Court in child disputes.
I can safely predict that there will be scores of lawyers, too, who will feel that their doubts about the whole system being so swayed by (allegedly) objective psychologists now has some well publicised vindication. (Not that all psychologists are as bad as this one, of course; and really, it is hard to say what alternative system could be implemented. Perhaps a panel of "experts", with a broader range of life experience than psychologists?)
Hey I heard it as well when the rain affected the cricket.
