If I were a therapist, I'd point every client to a list of books and online resources that discuss therapy outcomes in a honest way. Or create handout with some basic disclosures and cautions. How hard is that?

The main issue to me is whether the profession is churning out victims at a high rate. If so, better start asking tough questions. Not just about informed consent, but about T training and qualifications, lack of audits and checks & balances, lack of reporting, and whether some of the basic assumptions are unsound.

If the profession wants to be taken seriously, there needs to be some data available on outcomes. For example, what percentage of clients leave therapy feeling harmed. Pretty straightforward.
Thanks for this!
