The vast majority of therapists clearly care about their patients. On the other hand, people often don't give a shit about laws, even to their own detriment. People are a lot more complicated than "I adjust behavior to maximize personal outcome in terms of $$, beep bop". In some cases we respond to incentives, of course, but having that be the only law to explain human behavior is patently ridiculous. | ||
