It is not realistic to say that a T should be willing to, or even can work with all clients who behave in any manner. It is also not realistic that a T can continue indefinitely to work with a client that they once could work with, if the situation changes significantly enough to be such that the T does not think they can work with that client anymore.

It would be impossible to create a kind of therapy in which a T never abandoned a client.
Very nicely put, Prince. This bit especially resonated with me. Everything I've always wanted to say about the issue but was never able to articulate. Thanks for this!
