Long after my therapists' accusatory, condemning and contemptuous goodbyes, and losing my case before the grievance board, I surveyed psych literature for explanations. I found plenty of client blaming and bashing, starting with Freud and early analysts' contortions to explain negative therapeutic reaction-- why some patients fail to thrive under their brilliant care. Unfortunately, some therapists seem so caught in theory they see responses to them as transference and "material" rather than legitimate reactions to their own very real behavior.
