While not even his patient, I went along to a family-member's appointment. It was maybe their tenth session. Time's up. Therapist starts nudging for signing next to a laundry list of appointment dates that even I know never happened. Uh, what are you doing? I'm watching you commit insurance fraud. I'm sure many of his other patients just signed in the box. So dramatic fraud and brazenly taking advantage of people is just part of the routine for some people.

I personally knew a therapist that would commit insurance and tax fraud. I'm 100% convinced the licensing system for mental health professionals is inadequate.
