James P. Leone, PhD, CGP - Couples, Group & Individual Psychotherapist Bizarre guy who teaches you to think and act like a person with a psychopath personality type. Cambridge

He will make you feel relieved about anything bad you did, bring up sex, imply you are attracted to family members, incorrectly explore you possibly being LGBT, make you hate your parents, try to get rid of your other therapist, say your friends are bad people not worth your time, promise and imply there is something great if you just give into him, tell you he is teaching you how to have relationships which will open up opportunities in your life.

Gives you advice about life and how the world works according to his own warped and crooked life experience, seems to potentially have a lot spite toward other people due to unfortunate events in his life, perhaps a short man complex, promotes and upsells himself blatantly and in your face on  your own paid time, insurance does not like to pay for him because perhaps they have figured out that he is not legitimately useful.

People stay in his groups for years and decades like in a trance while becoming meaner and more alienated from friends and family, you see them walking to him like zombies, he certainly targets the vulnerable who fail to judge him for what he is actually doing and take him at his word which is blatantly dishonest. Assumes a familiarity with the health care system, DSM, and medicine by presenting simple concepts as brillinat know how of a doctor.

I seriously suspect that he may have been a torturer or military prison interrogator or some evil type of psychologist in the military because his techinques are very similar to those as he seems to cultivate learned helplessness in his patients almost as part of a business plan.
