06/25/2018 - Bambi Rattner, Psy.D. sanctioned by State of Massachusetts

In 2018, the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists disciplined Bambi M. Rattner, Psy.D.

According to the official Consent Agreement:

  • Rattner admitted she was supposed to provide trauma therapy to a child under a court order.
  • Instead, she effectively acted as a child custody evaluator while being financially tied to the father and stepmother — creating a conflict of interest.
  • The Board stated that she:
    • Reinforced a false trauma and failed to address actual trauma caused by the father/stepmother.
    • Conducted inadequate examinations of both child and mother.
    • Misinterpreted assessments, basing treatment on faulty conclusions.
    • The Board cited violations of multiple APA Ethics Code standards
      • 3.04
      • 3.05
      • 3.06
      • 9.01(b)
      • 9.06
      • 10.02(b))
