My therapists were milder examples, but they all were illustrations of magical thinking and self-assigned supernatural powers. Minus checks and balances, it seems easy for some practitioners to get swept away with whatever flies into their brains, partly because clients can collude with them. One of my "saner" ex-therapists is on the internet officially in charlatan-land, though with nothing permanently maiming.
I can imagine seeing this situation with Janus-like ambivalence.

I am torn wondering whether he really had a brain issue and/or dementia....or whether he was desperate for money...and to be "liked." I'll never know, I guess.
