I see the trend also. Therapists are routinely given benefit of the doubt re: motives and character, while the battered client is regarded with suspicion in terms of their ability to correctly read the situation.
Call me nuts, but if someone feels a therapist did not care, or care enough, or care in the right way, or their caring felt counterfeit... I'm inclined to believe them, rather than fish for other answers or condescend to the person about their distorted perceptions. The original post in this thread strikes me as sensible.
