DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Board of Psychology

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Psychology has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Robin J. Wilson, Ph.D. ABPP on May 31, 2013. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 39, No. 109, of the June 5, 2013, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner appears to be requesting the Board’s interpretation of Section 490.003, Florida Statutes, as to whether the provision of assessment and consultation services to FCCC residents, legal counsel (e.g. Public Defender's office) retained by residents of the FCCC, or to the State's Attorney's office would, in any way, constitute a harmful multiple relationship, conflict of interest, or any other breach of professional ethics, given the former role as FCCC Clinical Director. The Board’s Order, filed on August 30, 2013, declines to issue a Declaratory Statement to clarity the "Definitions" section 490.003(4), FS because it is clear and unambiguous. In addition, it is not the role of the Board to review and determine whether contractual agreements, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, etc. have the potential of causing ethical violations between the parties and/or patients.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Department of Health, 4052 Bald Cypress Way Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0797, [phone], [e-mail].
