James B Halla, PSYD

A profiteering quack, Halla was happy to provide a divorce court friendly evaluation for $ 2500, portraying father (Airline Captain and former Naval Aviator) in unfavorable terms, severely hindering his efforts to co-​parent eight year old daughter.
It was necessary for Halla to «invalidate» (his words) scores of the MMPI II and Rorschach tests — the only remotely objective tools psychologists possess — in order to match his diagnosis with his foregone conclusions.
Halla, to complete his «Catch-​22,» suggested that prescription drugs were probably in order, and noted «subject would probably strongly disagree» with his 7 hour, single visit diagnosis because the FAA disallows psychotropic drugs and his professional occupation would be jeopardized by Halla’s hit.
Disgraceful.
