Hi Karen,
Sorry I'm a bit late responding. I've been doing some research on this since I had my concern come up about getting kicked out, and I definitely think that both psychologists and psychiatrists have an ethical responsibility to not abandon the patient, or if they do choose to do that, that they must give a really valid reason that could be documented. I've heard that they are also supposed to arrange a referral for you, not leave you in the dust to find someone else on your own. I'm sorry he responded to you like that. Did he give an explanation for why he feels that there's an impasse in the relationship? Do you think you could talk to him about how this makes you feel and ask him for some guidance in the process of finding a new therapist? Good luck with everything,
-Karolina-
