I don't have any actual figures on this but it's for sure a lot that points to my conclusion. I know some countries have a referall policy and that's one thing. But I believe most therapists will leave their clients when being criticised or when clients behave in a difficult way.

Some will refer the client, some will just abandon them. Reading on this forum and many else tells me abandonment, ruptures and termination belongs to one the most common topics.

I think many clients hope their therapist will miss them, will regret what they did, will think of them afterwards but I doubt the therapists actually do that. Of course some will but I think many of them become desensitised and whilst the client mourn and grief for months and sometimes years most therapists will just take on a new client to fill that empty slot.

Some "super therapists" will for sure act by the book, try new methods, accept clients' critique and so on but I believe there are very few who has both skills and conscience for that.

With other mental health care stuff I believe it could be even worse, they lack therapeutic skills and have even less tools for avoiding ruptures and so on.

Some even say that mental health care is dangerous to vulnerable people who are dependent upon their therapist and doctors.
