I can add a couple of tidbits on this question. . .

My best friend from 7th grade to graduation had a mom who was a psychotherapist. Even though they loved each other, it was kind of a tumultuous relationship. Her mom's expectations for her were very high. Also, while a t should not let their own opinions influence the decisions their client makes, a t who is your mom can do this. She expected alot and if she disagreed with something my friend was doing, she would definitely point it out and let my friend know that she found it unacceptable. I think it created a lot of pressure on her.

On the other hand, my friend's mom managed to raise her to have very good self-esteem and to believe in her own ability to be successful. She learned to love herself. And now, she is a dermatologist working in Vail, Colorado (a very expensive Colorado ski town). She has her PhD, is married, has two kids, and seems very happy.

My other example is my t -- her husband is a psychiatrist. Although my t rarely talks about her family or life outside the office, she has made a few small comments that make me think her marraige isn't any better than the average one.
