My post was badly worded with respect to this issue-- what I meant to say was that all professionals (as a group, not as all individuals within that group) have been known to blame clients/students/patients for failures. That is, doctors can blame patients for being "noncompliant", lawyers blame clients for testifying badly, T's blame clients for "resistance", teachers and professors blame students for not studying enough, etc. I didn't mean that every T blames every client for every failure, I meant to say that every profession has some folks in it who have a tendency to blame others for their professional failures, either consistently or on some occasions with some people-- at times it is surely justified, others it isn't, and most of the time it's probably really hard to tell whose "fault" it is.
