Lots of people with psychological problems of their own are drawn to psychology as a career in the hope of solving their own problems. I would bet this man is using his skills to create problems in other people and deflect attention from his own.

He would do so because he can. This behavior turns him on. Its a power trip. This is just like a thrill-seeker getting his kicks on the roller coaster. Doing this makes him feel good.
If this happens frequently, then both husband AND wife have Spousal Abuse Syndrome, and should seeks some counseling before the abuse turns physically violent.
Sooner or later, the thrill will not be enough and a more damaging level of violence will be need to sate his power thirst.

Your question is 'strange,' quite surreal in its wording.
Doctors / Psychiatrist and Psychologists are generally (and most often actually are ~) 'human beings,' and as such come as a package which contain a set of each of the potentials for the intricate quirks, foibles, frailties and strengths of the species. So, they are not immune from abnormal behaviours or breakdowns.
Until relatively recently, psychologist were not known to actually do any work on their own behaviour (as in 'checking for any mental health problems') or any psychotheraputic work with regards to their own 'personal growth,' etc.
Q: Why was this 'He' to test her to her limits?
Q: Why would he subject her to anything?
Q: How would she know 'When' she would breakdown?
Q: Who knows what this 'He' was thinking!
Are you looking for a story line to fill in the spaces for you in your novel?
Without any thing else to go on, it's the only reason I can think of for anyone asking a question like this.

The types who abuse women well it doesn't matter what sort of work they do and why do you think someone in that profession would be less likely to be this type than someone in a more ordinary job???? They are everywhere in many guises and the aim is "power". Testing her??? Punishing her more like it. He is the one who needs "testing".

I know a psychologist somene in my family and that is the same thing he likes to do and he thinks it is very funny when someone gets fed up and thier limit is broken. I guess it is entertaining to them. They must be a tad bit sociopathic.

Being a psychologist does not suddenly immunize you from psychological problems.
He obviously needs counseling of his own.

this is a very self serving occupation, most enter as a way to better understand them selves and manipulate others on a repressed subconscious level and if they just so happen to help a couple of people along the way it would only feed their grandiose appetite to feel needed.

Sounds like he could not separate work from home. Also a good counselor does not escalate, but calm and rationalize.
