I am a PhD psychologist and have met many psychiatrists and psychologists throughout my years of practice. Dr. James Wines is one of the worst I have encountered. My daughter was hospitalized against her wishes by Dr. James Wines, psychiatrist at McLean and Fernside and then left for the weekend with no help. He said she was suicidal when she was not and when her own therapist, a psychologist, and another hospital said she did not need hospitalization. Her own therapist thought it would be very detrimental for her as indeed it turned out to be. Dr. Wines is quite authoritarian and does not respect patient's privacy. My daughter was never at risk for suicide.
