so, no. i think it is fair to say that the majority of therapists don't see a therapist themselves though they may (or may not) talk to other therapists about their caseload.

I think, though, as part of their training, therapists have to be in therapy while they are in grad school. For example, a while back, I was looking at the counseling program offered by my alma mater, which offers counseling programs (e.g. family therapist, mental health therapist, marriage therapist, etc.). It was a requirement of the program (usually a 2 year program beyond the bachelor's degree) that the person be in therapy at that time. I guess this allows them to work out some of their own problems and experience therapy from the other side of the couch. So even if the therapist is not in therapy herself in the present, probably at one time in the past, during her training, she was. (at least at many programs in the U.S.)
