For me, a really major problem is that "psychotherapy" is undefined. The word tells you nothing about what actually happens in therapy, does not distinguish what makes a successful therapy as opposed to an unsuccessful one. I think this is a fault of mental health professionals: they have not really determined what works and why -- and they do not admit this.
