Not all therapists have that viewpoint. I take the Psych Central articles with a grain of salt and find they usually don't have much depth to them. He doesn't sound too experienced with trauma clients, where hostility is under the umbrella of attachment issues, not something rare. Hopefully he doesn't work with this population at all.

Not all clients come to therapy to change, though perhaps many do. Maybe someone is there for support or to be heard. I think therapy success should match the client's goals, so it's arrogant to say this imo.

The other thing I was thinking is that maybe he works for the prison population-where they are doing forced therapy or to pass the time. I can't imagine otherwise why people would pay money for therapy in the first place if they don't want to change, unless changing isn't part of their goal.

I agree with him that therapy isn't to 'fix' people. But yeah, not all therapists think like this or are that uninformed.

Really difficult to read these though-blaming the patient. If the therapist is partly responsible for good outcomes, they are just as much responsible for poor outcomes.
