Kentucky Orders End to Parenting Column, Says Columnist Not State-Licensed Psychologist

 

Rosemond is the author of a popular parenting advice column that is syndicated nationwide. A psychologist licensed to practice in North Carolina, Rosemond answers questions about child-rearing from parents who submit their questions online. His column appears in more than 200 newspapers across the country, according to a lawsuit he filed on Tuesday.

On May 7, 2013, the Kentucky Board of Examiners of Psychology sent Rosemond a letter asking him to cease and desist his columns because the advice he gave a parent on how to handle a teenager constituted the "practice of psychology," which he is not licensed to practice in Kentucky.

. . .

In his lawsuit, Rosemond contends that the board is trying to protect a "monopoly of advice."
