I believe therapists fail their clients more than people like to think. I think people tend to stretch all sorts of ways to give the therapists unwarranted benefit of the doubt for having a reason why they fail and/or to blame the client. I think therapists do this as well and I believe it in a client's best interest to be on guard about it so as not to fall prey to further bashing themselves because therapy is not being useful. I understand others think differently.
