“ …… Lee was then contacted by John Krystal, chairman of Yale’s psychiatry department, who warned that her behavior was out of line, according to her lawsuit. He warned her specifically the university would be “compelled” to terminate its relationship with her if she did not knock it off with the public diagnoses.
“You are putting me in a position where I have to ask, ‘Is this the sort of person that I can trust to teach medical students, residents, and forensic psychiatry fellows?’” Krystal reportedly said in an email. He later met personally with Lee, whom he informed had committed a breach of psychiatric ethics when she diagnosed Dershowitz, according to the lawsuit. By May, Lee had been let go.
Krystal reportedly told Lee in a separate letter in September that her public rants raised serious doubts about her “clinical judgment and professionalism,” especially in regards to instructing medical students.
“You did not make these statements as a layperson offering a political judgment; you made them explicitly in your professional capacity as a psychiatrist and on the basis of your psychiatric knowledge and judgment,” Krystal reportedly wrote. “For that reason, the committee decided it was appropriate to consider how these statements reflected your ability to teach trainees.” The letter added, “We recognize that without formal teaching responsibilities your appointment could not be reinstated.”
Lee's lawsuit claims her termination, which she believes is directly related to Dershowitz’s complaint, is a violation of her First Amendment rights and her academic freedoms. Her lawsuit, by the way, also claims Yale officials told her as far back as 2017 to cut out the unprofessional diagnoses or at least make it clear her views did not represent those of the university, to which she responded simply by ignoring them.
“My goal currently is to ensure that professionals and intellectuals are not silenced,” Lee told the New York Times.
For the first time in 18 years, Lee will not be instructing Yale medical students. And she has no one to blame but herself.
The Goldwater rule is real. It exists for a reason. Mental health professionals are asked and expected to abide by the prudent guideline, which states it is both unethical and extremely irresponsible for mental health experts to render professional verdicts on subjects based only on casual observation ….. “

This shrivelled ‘wokey’ will have this shame tattooed on her forehead forever, it is to be hoped.
Alas, there may still be ‘saviours’ that will throw her a ‘lifeline’ of fake employment opportunities in psycho-industry.
