Defendants demonstrated that the documents and information sought in the discovery demands at issue may be material and necessary to the fair resolution of this action ( Allen v Crowell-Collier Publ. Co., 21 NY2d 403, 406-407). The records of plaintiff's doctors suggest that plaintiff's claims involve psychological and physical injuries that cannot be separated. Thus, defendants may be entitled to full disclosure of plaintiffs psychological history so as to determine, inter alia, which, if any, part of her claimed injuries is a result of the accident giving rise to this action and which is the manifestation of prior psychological conditions ( see Schecter v 210 E. 90th St. Owners, 271 AD2d 224, 224-225 [2000]).
The matter is remanded to Supreme Court for an in camera review of the requested documents and a determination of the parties' competing claims of physician-patient privilege and waiver ( see Bluebird Partners v First Fid. Bank, N.J., 248 AD2d 219, 225 [1998], lv dismissed 92 NY2d 946), and of the continued relevancy of such documents in light of plaintiff's withdrawal of her "psychological" claims.
