OK . . .and. . .what is ethical to use instead? Maybe we/society and the mental health profession don't have a method to use that doesn't hurt people, sometimes in disastrous ways? But nobody wants to acknowledge that, for the reason Ididitmyway stated or other reasons?
It's a sad and scary situation, too, then, not just frustrating. Or maybe not primarily frustrating, as Xynesthesia suggested, but impossible (so far as current knowledge and methodology go) and hopeless.
Which is not to say that life is hopeless. . .but seems kinda like that. Especially if one had hooked one's wagon to the (therapy) star.
