Admiration, respect, adulation, etc are very seductive. I am not saying it is just the money.
But they have multiple clients from which they can get those things (and they can always get more). The client usually just has the therapist (and may have a hard time finding a new one).

In other words, therapists are dependent on clients as a class, clients are dependent on the individual therapist.
