In all the following examples when I say 'care' I mean 'care in a professional manner'. That is to show respect, professionalism, and appropriate concern about appropriate matters related to their job. Et cetera.

I want my lecturers to care about my education.
I want my dentist to care about my dentistry.
I want my doctor to care about my health.
I want my hairdresser to care about my hair.
I want my therapist to care about my psyche.
I want my mechanic to care about my car.
I want my cook to care about the meals he makes for me.
(Just kidding - I wish!)

But you get the picture.

I do believe the role of a therapist involves a greater level of connection and relational involvement than other professionals that may be hired simply because the therapeutic alliance is there to serve the emotional and mental well being of the client.
