(1,805 posts)didn't "use" psychologists on Allen's payroll, they *interviewed* them.
"A team of investigators from Yale-New Haven Hospital that was retained by the Connecticut State Police subsequently concluded Dylan had not been abused," according to an account in the Times, which covered the custody proceedings.
Mias allegations of molestation automatically triggered a criminal investigation by the Connecticut State Police, who brought in an investigative team from the Yale-New Haven Hospital, whose six-month long inquiry (which included medical examinations) concluded that Dylan had not been molested. Ive since read a recurring canard that Woody chose the investigative team. Yet nobody has suggested how or why Mias team would ever outsource the investigation to a team chosen by Woody. Others have said that the investigators talked to psychiatrists on Allens payroll before letting him off the hook. The only way I can explain this is that the investigators, naturally, would have spoken with Woodys shrinks before giving him a clean bill of health. So technically, yeah, Woodys shrinks would have been paid a lot of money by Woody over the years. (Lets even call it an annuity.) The same would be true of his dentist, his eye doctor, and his internist.
