Yes. Psychotherapy is inherently flawed. I just don't know an alternative, having tried many different methods and spent tens of thousands of dollars. I agree with stopdog's point that many of them treat it like a form of mystery or magic that can't work if it's revealed. It should be no different than going to a doctor. I can't imagine a pcp not explaining what they are doing. Even surgeons will explain a procedure, then describe the risks of failure or complications.
