James Stewart sleeps with patients and uses cocaine

July 13, 2007

James Stewart, from Staunton, has had his license revoked by the Virginia Board of Psychologists.

From 1994 to 2004, Stewart slept in the same bed as a patient and borrowed her car, documents said.

After ten years of weekly sessions to another patient, Stewart moved into that patient’s house, rent-free, from the summer of 2002 to August 2003. He also used the patient’s credit card and borrowed money.

Stewart abused cocaine and alcohol by his own admission to both staff at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville and to a patient.
