They guess and make stabs but present it as if they know what they are doing AND they blame the client when it goes wrong. Their books are full of examples of this.

I don't know if you're addressing this to my post, Sd, and I apologize if you're not, but I'm going to respond anyway. I do think that therapists are "responsible" if they aren't willing or able to respond to your questions about "the process". I get it that what might anger you and make you enraged and dismissing is their insistence that they are doing therapy and you're just not understanding what they're doing. But what I don't get from your posts is why you haven't "MOVED ON" from those two therapist that you see.
You don't have to tell me or anyone else what you're getting from those sessions with those two therapist. If they are giving you something that you want, even though you don't view it as an explanation of real therapy, then that is great, and it's not one's business but yours. You've stated it many times here on Psych. Central that you have found a way to make those two therapists provide a service that is helpful to you. That's a really good thing! If they are lying and blocking you, why would you allow this???? This totally and completely confusing me. You strike me as an intelligent and well-informed person. Walk away if this is happening to you!
Puzzlebug, I get from your posts that you have been horribly hurt by the therapy process. I can only hope that you have been able to not engage and that you have found something better and more powerful to help you through the process of healing. I will say, however, that you need to know that people aren't all the same. Although I realize that I am NOT a good therapy candidate, other people are. They grow and make gains that I can only wish I could make. Don't diss them and their progress. Yes, post about your issues and problems with therapy ,but don't disrespect that others can make gains. I'm sorry if this seems disrespectful to you and your thoughts, but I'm also a person who believes in speaking her thoughts and beliefs. Take care.
