Agree that individual therapists are accountable. Disagree that so called "good" therapists can reliably transcend a dysfunctional framework. Purchased caring is a problematic construct, even if the therapist is super special and has magical powers.
Also seems most therapists are perpetuating therapy orthodoxy unthinkingly, according to their indoctrination. One of the best descriptions of therapists I've come across is... "naive followers of a faith".
I do think therapists ought to get a real job and stop humiliating people, and for that they are absolutely responsible.
