I'm re-opening this rather old thread because I received my report from the psychologist about ten days ago and today had my feedback session. I did not expect to learn anything from my psych report but I was surprised. I had realized that my therapist and psychiatrist did not listen very well, but I got a sense of how poorly from the psychologists report that quoted their notes liberally. Up until yesterday, I hadn't made up my mind whether or not to go to this feedback session but decided just before the "must cancel twenty-four hours in advance" deadline, that I would. He asked if I had any comments or questions. I had written them down and brought them with me. The comments are too confusing out of context so I'll skip those - but here were the questions:

Questions:

1. I was harmed by the CPT test. I'm hoping you can help me to understand why you would order such a test for someone with myasthenia gravis – and having done so, why you would have it be administered first, as well as in the morning?

2. You stated that objective testing of attention and concentration was impossible given my non-compliance. Where there any non-compliance issues unrelated to my disability?

3. On the day prior to the testing, I communicated to you that when I answer honestly, I give what appears to be contradictory information based on the way that I process information. You told me that you were very good at this and would be able to tell if I was telling the truth. I answered honestly and you reported that the test found that I was faking bad. How did you use your expertise and experience to interpret the test results differently than a poor psychologist with limited experience?

4. My primary care provider and my neurologist believe that I am disabled and, due to the myasthenia gravis, can neither work nor engage in regular physical exercise. You've made recommendations that I do both. Can you explain why you would make physical recommendations based on a psychological assessment?

He answered like a politician, moving his lips and making noises but steadfastly refusing to answer a single question clearly. Nevertheless, I am pleasantly surprised (and frankly, a little disappointed in myself) that I got a measure of satisfaction out of his obvious discomfort at my questions.
