Can my boss ask me to undergo psychological treatment just because he feels I may not be committed to the company and may act irrationally and leave one day?

Re: Can my boss ask me to undergo psychological treatment?
Based on the facts that you present, the answer is no. This would be
an action that is far outside of having taken off one day. The question is why did you leave?
Your pay can be docked accordingly. Also be advised that Maryland is an "employment at will" state which means
that other than discriminatory or retailiatory firing, you can be let go with little explanation.
This boss appears to be somewhat oppressive. I think I would be looking for a new job.
