This note is being written for the purpose of record keeping and any possible future legal issues. Unlike a typical session, the information here is not confidential. The subject in question, who identified himself only as “Madcap,” is not recognized as a client. He did not attempt to seek therapy in good faith, did not go through the proper procedures, and repeatedly threatened this writer and the rest of the staff.

Madcap presented in a garish costume and mask, although there was some question about whether the mask was, in fact, his actual face. When he first arrived in the office, he attempted to claim he was a member of Wade Wilson’s mercenary team that had seen this therapist recently and was here for their records. When I, overhearing it, went to the front desk to introduce myself and question him as I did not remember him, he changed tactics, drawing a weapon and shoving me into my office.

Once inside the office, he seemed to change again, acting as though he was legitimately seeking services. He detailed a trauma history that included the death of his parents and sister, exposure to an illegal chemical, and a history since of incarceration and physical violence.

However, as session continued, it became clear to the writer the subject was trying to get information on Wilson and other costumed individuals connected to that client. When called on it, Madcap flew into a rage, threatening the writer and saying the rest of the office would “get it worse.”

Attempting to contain the situation, I returned to asking him intake questions. In time, he began to espouse what I can best refer to as a sort of absurdist nihilistic philosophy. He expressed his disbelief in order and human goodness and his intention to slowly push the word towards a more “honest” place—that is one of randomness and inherent cruelty.

Thankfully, one of the staff had taken initiative and reported the subject to the police. When Madcap saw several cruisers parking in front of our building, he left the office in haste. A look at our records reveal he was unable to steal any on his way out. Our clients have still been made aware of Madcap’s “visit,” but there is no reason to believe he acquired any protected health information at this time.

For further information on Madcap, this writer recommends the works of Doctors Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli. Their newest evaluation of him will be available on December 7 in the file marked DEADPOOL #23.

Psy D. Candidate Tim Stevens is a Staff Therapist with a philosophy but it is less absurdist nihilistic and more grilled cheese focused.
