A serious question. Yes, bad therapists of several different kinds exist. How they get to be therapists is another question.

I can only speculate that "some of the kindest, gentlest people" are also the most vulnerable. The wolves among the therapists can sense their vulnerability and satisfy their urges at their victims' expense while at the same time exploiting their skills to encourage the victims to blame themselves rather than the therapists.

I wonder how many are the victims of bad therapists?
