Here's my best guess
I think it's mostly predatory, intentional abuse of the client (rationalized in whatever way works best for the T). Picks the victim carefully, just like any predator. Risk is part of the rush.
In a few cases, perhaps the T either gets caught up in the delusion that it is helping the client to become intimate, that makes it OK, OR high on the addictive love of the client -- knows it is unethical, knows it is wrong and abusive -- maybe this T is one of the few remorseful, guilty, seeking help to recover, then maybe choosing another profession.
No idea how it gets all the way to a marriage! Yikes!
