Why do people forget therapy isn't just something for mentally healthy people going through a rough patch or just looking for some personal growth and want some guidence....some people are going to try to get help for their serious issues and its frusterating when the 'help' isn't really cut out to help with issues to the severity one has. Maybe they should have different kinds of therapists/therapy and a more clear distinction between those more able to deal with cases of serious mental illnesses and those who are better at perhaps things like marrige/relationship counseling or someone just wanting a little extra support and someone to counsel them on something.

I agree that there are types of therapists and environments that are conducive towards helping various issues. A person in private practice who works alone in an office should never have to feel badly for terminating a client who makes them fear for their safety. Those clients are best served in a location with more accountability and safety measures in place.
I believe that a T has every right to refer out when they believe they can't help appropriately in their setting.
