This is also in response to the post you quote.
If the profession is so dangerous, so untrustworthy...why trust what its practitioners say in any form?
If those of us who claim clients have power are deceiving ourselves...might not therapists also have a vested interest in claiming the power in the therapist-client relationship for themselves in their literature?
I would not trust any therapist, in person or in the professional literature, any more than I would Benedict Arnold. (Apologies to the Brits on here.)
