The Myth of the Untroubled Therapist Quotes

“Like physicians we have a duty to 'do no harm' (..). I argue that we can only do this through recognition of our own weaknesses and a willingness to understand how we might be tempted into positions of false omnipotence, moral superiority and boundary violations. (..) Like Guggenbuhl-Craig, I believe there is a 'bogeyman' within every therapist, longing for control (1971, p. 55).”
