That does describe how therapists are - I do wonder why they can't get their needs met in a more mature, functional manner but there we have it - therapists do horrible things, they manipulate clients and yet clients perform all sorts of twists and machinations to justify therapists and keep handing them money - enabling therapists in a way.
