After a while the patient gets to feel guilty over the way he’s been acting towards this doctor. After all, even if the doctor is paid to listen and takes all the abuse, he is still a person. So the patient begins to look at how he acts and tries to be nicer to the doctor. And then after a while the patient starts being nicer even to people he isn’t paying to listen to him. And that’s what therapy is.”

I don't know where you got this excerpt, but it's not true. It's also not scientifically valid, as it's someone's stated opinion and not an actual concept.
Is there some question here, or did it just bother you to read this?
