I think those who believe they are in a helping profession more often than not have control/power issues themselves. More than most people want to believe and certainly more than therapists openly admit. They label it different things so they don't have to do so. In my dealings with them, more as an attorney than personally, that has been my experience.
I realize mine is not the majority opinion.
