Re:ADJUSTMENT DISORDER?????????

High handed maybe, depending on what you mean by high handed. However, It�s the legal thing to do. Your above point 1 contradicts your point 2. First you are saying to be honest, but in point 2 you imply that people should be getting insurance money whether or not they have a diagnosis. How can a psychotherapist encourage their clients to be honest with their spouses, friends, lovers, when they themselves are not honest?

And if a psychotherapist knows she or he can "cheat the system", the federal government, AND get away with it, then they also know that it's much easier to cheat or even harm their clients with either untested or the wrong kind of psychotherapy, harm their client without repercussions, AND also get away with that too.

Until the system is �fixed�, therapists should not be committing illegal acts just because they don�t like the system. If psychotherapists think the system is broke, they should ask their overpaid lobbyists and overpaid think tank do nothing social elites in their professional orgs in Washington DC and actually earn their pay and get legislation enacted, instead of encouraging their members to commit insurance fraud just because they don�t particularly like the current laws or system.
