A rigid and rational psychiatrist finds herself questioning her beliefs when a potentially dangerous man is brought into a mental institution claiming he was abducted by extraterrestrials. Under the guidance of her unconventional supervisor, the young, inexperienced psychiatrist must decide if the patient will be involuntarily hospitalized or if he is telling the truth.
It could, but only indirectly. I think that if you go that route, then it would be her career and/or reputation that is at stake if she makes the wrong call.

If the psychiatrist is the protagonist then the logline should say what's at stake for her, not for her patient. If the patient is the protagonist then it's correct to say what's at stake for him, but then he should probably be the first person mentioned in the logline. If the psychiatrist is rationRead more

If the psychiatrist is rational as you say, then her “beliefs” aren’t really an issue. For somebody like that beliefs and faith is irrational.
Considering that just our galaxy contains billions of stars and there are countless other galaxies in our universe, it would be very strange indeed if Earth contained the only life in all of that. So thinking that there are aliens is in fact rational.
On the other hand:
If there are intelligent life elsewhere, and they have the means to travel the immense distances between stars, why would they use that incredible technology to travel to a backwards planet where people destroy their own planet and fight wars over natural resources and who has the best imaginary friend, to abduct some redneck and stick objects up his rectum? To think that intelligent beings would travel all this way to abduct somebody is not rational.
Those are my two cents.

It’s better to refer to the protagonist by his or her profession ? or if they’re young, mention whether they’re in High School or College or whichever it is ? and an adjective like lackadaisical. I had to google that word, but that may have to do with English not being my first language.
Instead of him fearing being haunted just have him be haunted by his girl friend ? provided that is what happens in your screenplay ? and I’d move the mentioning of the haunting to the end of the logline.
