Psychologist license suspended for Crazy Behavior

A California state administrative judge has suspended the license of Susan Elizabeth Kuehl, 37, a psychologist who worked at the Patton State Mental Hospital in San Bernardino over questions about her mental health and behavior. The California Board of Psychology is seeking to permanently revoke her license for unprofessional conduct, She has been charged in San Bernardino Superior Court with burglary and a public-records violation for allegedly breaking into hospital offices and stealing confidential personnel files, according to Miles Bristow, a spokesman for the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Kuehl's license was suspended Aug. 1, after a judge determined that to let her continue practicing would threaten the safety and welfare of patients.
