Shirley M. Collado..., was accused of having a five-month sexual relationship with a female patient who was undergoing therapy for post-traumatic stress in 2000....
The patient, who was receiving treatment ... after she suffered the abuse of another doctor, alleged she and Collado kissed after a therapy session on May 20...

Same sex #metoo in the City of Evil bump.
This alone disqualifies her from most jobs in her field of expertise...
But she’s an overweight lesbian whose parents came from the Dominican Republic so she’s all good, right?
Shirley you can’t be serious!
If she was a male who molested a female patient her career would be over. But since she is a lesbian it is all good.
Higher education in America. Your tax dollars at work.
“”and the patient moved in with her “shortly after””
HUH? How could there have been charges filed when it looks from all accounts that the “assaultee” was a willing participant? I wondered when we were going to start hearing stories like this from the “other” world!
18 years ago? This will just go under the heading of “I don’t understand.”
OK - fog has lifted some and this is about the CURRENT president of IC - not charges being brought against her now. Just getting a little of her history out there! Ithaca deserves her! If they don’t want to keep her, she can run for senator from NY....
By whom? Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein?
I’m wonder if she had to register as a sex offender: https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/sex-offender-registration-and-notification-act-sorna
She says that the college knew about this and still hired her.
Yep, a badge of honor in Ithaca.
I didn’t read the entire article as it is very long, and sickening.
False allegations of sexual abuse are common in bipolar patients.
There is a big differenice between psychiatrists and psychologists.
Psychiatrist’s ethics say, “Once a patient, always a patient.” If a person was EVER your patient you can NEVER have a relationship with them
Psychologists do not have that same rule. Many psychologists end up marrying their patients.
I even wonder if her husband who committed suicide was ever a patient of hers.
Neither allow any sexual activity with a current patient.
I’ve known psychiatrists to end their lucrative careers by having a relationship with beautiful bipolar patients. Just because they come on to you is not a reason to accept their advances.
It’s a poison flower.
Apparently not because I just checked the Tompkins County sex offender site and Collado is not listed on it.
“The president of Ithaca College .... ****Shirley**** M. Collado”
” with a ***female*** patient”.
WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?
Federal and state have different registries IIRC.
Right. The accepted protocol is that a physician can begin a romantic relationship with a former patient provided that the doctor-patient relationship has been terminated for at least six months. The exception is psychiatry where there can never be a romantic relationship with a former patient.
>> If she was a male who molested a female patient her career would be over
Believe it or not, free sex used to be touted as one of the bennies of being in that profession.
