Fair enough.  I concede that a therapist could be "unwittingly providing
an opportunity for these people ot fantasize," but that just means that
the therapist is incompetent instead of outright evil.  I would still hold
the therapist responsible for the continuing pain and anguish of his/her
patient.  Therapists who allow their patients to fantasize
such events and call it "therapy" are at best incompetent.
