WTF, why would any reputable "psychologist" do this to a patient?

A friend of mine is blind and he went blind at a young age and he said he would not wish it upon anyone; but he does live a relatively normal life except for the fact he's blind. I once asked him if he would ever get a seeing eye dog and he said no because he does not like dogs and it would be one more thing to take care of.

'I was 'blind-simming', which is pretending to be blind, but the idea kept coming up in my head and by the time I was 21 it was a non-stop alarm that was going off,' she said.
Determined to turn her dream into a reality, Ms Shuping found a psychologist willing to help her become blind and took the necessary steps in 2006.
My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin. But all I could think was 'I am going blind, it is going to be okay'
They first put in numbing eyedrops - which Ms Shuping picked up during a special visit to Canada - followed by a couple of drops of drain cleaner in each eye.
It is not known if the unidentified psychologist is facing prosecution for their actions.
Ms Shuping admitted the process was extremely painful.

-----IMO people do not recognize mental illness anymore.

I don't think most regular people recognize mental illness many times. There are so many forms & levels of mental illness that it's very hard to tell when someone is just a little wacky or a full on nut case on the verge of causing disaster at any moment. And since it's not against the law to be crazy, and very few want to get involved even when they suspect someone is about to go off the rails. Most times people don't really react to a mentally ill person until that person's illness begins to affect them in some negative way.

Plus, this article came from the Daily Mail, so we have to have a healthy level of skepticism as to the full accuracy of the facts presented.
