My former therapist once told me that she went to a conference to hear a very well know therapist, and that was one of the questions put to the audience, and she said more than 3/4 of them said no. They did not have hope that everyone could heal. My therapist told me she was so angry about this, and even the discussion leader suggested that those people should seek another profession. If a therapist doesn't start off with each client at that point, where do they (client and therapist) go from there?
