Excuse my ignorance, but what stops this practitioner from creating documentation like your example, and then releasing it as the record of therapy? (Assuming of course, that she has not previously conceded the existence of a more comprehensive document).

I guess the principle (that patients can talk freely because it won't be revealed) is still compromised by this approach. I wonder if you were subpoena'd one day and produced the one liner record, would they believe you had complied with the court's instruction, or would the court assume you were trying to thwart them.
