Well, he's surely crazy, why would such a sick person want to study psychology if not to manipulate others and hide his own illness? Spread the word on what he's doing.

Maybe you dont know the relationship they have?
you say that that he "insulted" and "humiliated" her, this would suggest a one off incident rather than an ongoing process.
We all manipulate and control people whether we want to or not, She is not his patient she is his wife, you know ? .In her company he is just a man not a psychologistThese things happen in marriage on the odd ocassion.
Perhaps he sees the way her mind works a little better than you too and maybe she needs a "steer" from time to time or else she becomes a complete pain in the butt. Some of you ladies do need controlling from time to time, some quite educated ones even like it, its a sign of care when the opposite of love is ambivelance.
If he keeps doing it or becomes physically abusive help her out but dont expect the guy to be a Saint just because he is a psychologist, Hell he cant win either way, if he is considerate and forbearing i can hear it now " dont analyse me , i am not one of your clients!!!!!"
EDIT. I luuurve some of the transferance thats going on in this discussion hehehehehe!! read back what you ahve put and see what it says about your own relationships (me too!)

As long as I have been paying attention to such things, it seems that everyone I've ever met or knew who was a psychologist or student of psychology had a real need to see one. I wish I understood why it is that happens. Perhaps it's as the first answerer said, they learn psychology so they can better learn how to manipulate people using their fears, etc. It's just sick, a sick and twisted power trip if you ask me.

Sadly many people find them selves pursuing careers in the medical feel for the feel of power. He probably enjoys the control he has over his patients and the control he has over his wife.
He probably thinks that because of who he is, he has the right to talk down to her. No one has the right.
Help your friend to get out of the situation, or direct them to some counseling.
He is abusing his power and abusing his family.

He probably became a shrink to solve his own problems, and he hasn't. Just because he is a professional doesn't mean he knows the answers. You have to help your friend. Talk to her, listen to her, give her the number of a domestic-abuse hotline. Make sure you see her often, so she knows she can come to you. Also, you should talk to the domestic abuse hotline to see what you should do. You may need to report this guy professionally so it gets investigated, but talk to your friend and the hotline to make sure that it doesn't make things worse for her. If you witness him hitting her, call the police and file a report.

he is big headed. he thinks he is too smart compared to her and thinks he can get away with it. every time that happens it always catches up in one form or another, when will they learn..
never be bad to the wife unless you're willing to go through extreme lengths where you will probably have a sad / ended marriage anyways. (no abuse to partners, or anyone!!)
i don't think guys like that love their partners, or are able to love a partner in a caring way. i think they just have needs or requirements.

He is no different than any other abuser. It doesn't matter what his profession is. I hope your friend can get out of the situation.

Disregard his profession its irrelevant if you think your friends husband is abusing her mentally and physically, call the police.

You only think he is abusing. If he is then he should be stopped somehow. He is taking he work home.

he's so inadequate that he has to make her feel bad and make her feel that everything is her fault to cover up all his short comings, which is a lot if he is treating her that way. its abuse, plain and simple, get her out.
