That doesn't sound like kleptomania.
And while the therapist may be terrible, I don't know why that's the first conclusion to jump to rather than thinking maybe the jackass who steals from his grandmother has convoluted the situation.
There's a difference between "  ou have childhood issues which you're dealing with through theft. Let's talk about that so you're aware of why you're doing these terrible things, when you're most susceptible, and how you can better control your behavior"
and
" our family is to blame. They MADE you steal. Don't talk to them anymore!"
I'd gamble he was told the former and twisted it to the latter to avoid feeling like the f--k up that he is...

kleptomaniacs are probably also liars. doubt his therapist are saying anything like that at all, just making !@# to fool your sister.

A nursing home I worked at had a klepto patient. She was hilarious. Sneaking in rooms and stealing stuff like teeth.

it might be due to childhood issues, but those issues are HIS and the rest of his family isn't to BLAME for things he has trouble overcoming. My sister blames everyone else in our family for her problems, even though she is the cause of it all... so I get what kid is talking about... the shrink be it directly or indirectly is allowing this guy to justify his behavior by blaming other people for it.
Sorry to say, but only YOU are responsible for your own actions, regardless of your past.
do you have any formal psych training?
Yes
does it involve any jr or sr level classes, or you using your intro to psych class as your base for knowledge on the subject.
Sith you work at a BBQ join, you aren't a shrink either. Stop trying to act like you are somehow better then Jezza, you aren't

why would your sister deal with this thief???? makes no sense. should be shot for stealing from family. stealing from strangers is one thing, but stealing from family thats just low.
Shes lazy like most Americans. I could never imagine my sister becoming a single mom. We all knew she would forgive him, but we didn't think it'd be so fast. Maybe a few month or two, yeah, but 2 weeks was fast.

I used to steal stuff I didn't need in High School. Never got caught but realized someday I would be no matter how clever I am. Still feel the urge though I just jerk off in the ladies room instead.

I think part of it stems from my sister - she doesn't like my brother-in-law's side of the family, so, she essentially turned him against them, though, I'm sure his childhood wasn't perfect, which made him an easy push-over.
Nobody has a perfect childhood. And its no excuse for him. I just can't believe he'd allow my grandmother to sit there, cry her eye's out when he had her money the whole time. He was with her when that went down. What kind of conscious does he have? And he always threw others under the bus - one time it was me and one time it was my cousin. Why me? Easy target. I smoke marijuana occasionally, and spent 95% of my time in the dorms drinking and smoking. My family isn't used to that. And my cousin dealt had drug issues 2 years ago, hes sober now, but my brother-in-law threw out the idea that my cousin was back on drugs and looking for cash. As far as we know, my cousin has never stolen but it was easily believable. Until now. We know it wasn't my cousin.
So, he destroyed the trust in the family over the coarse of 2 years. Its nothing breath-taking, but never had anything eye-opening like this happen. My grandfather (Opa) was in the military for over 25 years, and I know if he was still with us, he'd find my brother-in-law and beat him the s*** out of him. He did not put up with bulls*** especially when it came to money or family.
