What an interesting thread. I've always wondered why some people get overly attached to their therapist. Reading the responses here has helped me understand why this happens.
The following along with the encouragement of attachment anger me:
Therapy can be very limiting, because it fails to see a client's reality. The different theories can even distort reality. There are also other factors that explain a client's behavior such as disposition, genetics, culture, substance abuse, stress, illness etc... Often these are ignored.
Therapists tend to assume the way we interact with them is also how we interact with others outside the office. I don't agree with this assumption because the way I interact with my therapist is very different from friends, family and acquaintances.
All these assumptions can cause a lot of harm. A misdiagnosis often makes it worse. I know this because I have been through it. Therapy nearly broke me.
