Rivers v. Edgar CA1/3
As a condition of parole, Ronald Rivers was required to participate in psychotherapy. His therapist and her supervisor notified his parole officer that Rivers might be suicidal. Rivers then sued the therapist, her supervisor, two additional therapists and their employer Sharper Future, a division of Pacific Forensic Psychology Associates, Inc. (Sharper Future) for, in essence, defamation, breach of contract, and professional malpractice. Demurrers were sustained without leave to amend as to the defamation and breach of contract claims, and the court granted summary judgment on Rivers’s cause of action for malpractice.
