I can't fully grasp the context of an adult who is an extreme whiner or complainer. I'm sure they've been in my life before but not for quite a while .

It is definitely a matter of ethics though. My Therapist and I have had general conversations about clients and ethics and decision making in treatment plans. She mentioned she always terminates and refers out clients who "lack the fight" and are not willing to be helped out of that victim role, work hard, stay dedicated, and start healing. This decision is mostly because she feels she cannot help them and will begin to cross the ethical line by continuing to see them, knowing she cannot help.

It's sad really because there ARE therapists who will continue to go along with it, being completely aware they are no longer helping their client. Some of them do it to bank off of these clients too! Therapists are doing their jobs when they tell you what they're observing and point out patterns. That's truly the only way to make progress.
