It is not professional "abuse" because it is heart and soul of the trade. That is how things are done. Think to the nationwide fad of inventing repressed memories to put private and Christian daycare people in prison a whole swah of the population in Wennatchie Wa, for instance. Some of the most egregious work of that sort was done in Miami and some of those people are still in prison long long after everything was exposed as the BS it was.
You make a good point. Also, Christians who were inches from obtaining their PhDs in counseling have been kicked out of psych programs at several universities because they tried to have homosexual clients transferred to a counselor favorable to their lifestyle. There have been a number of lawsuits about this. Too busy this week to do the research; but it's worth looking into for any Christian wanting to obtain counseling credentials.
