For the record I have been manipulated by several therapists.
I don't suggest therapists share same personality. Rather they have some common traits and attitudes, presumably due to a combination of basic psychological makeup + conditioning and training.
Most or all of the 20+ therapists i've had direct contact with made it clear one way or another (words, body language, posture, interpretations) that their default position was -- therapist right, client wrong.
