If the premise is "what the therapist did was wrong", I have a hard time seeing what it is you want to talk about. Debates/discussions about ethics usually have some intentional ambiguity. There seems to be none the way you've presented this scenario, at least, that's how it looks to me. I never "blamed the client". Those are your words, your interpretation. A client can think their therapist is "wrong" when they are not. This happens frequently in substance abuse counseling, as any professional knows. That is not "blaming" the client, it is putting responsibility where it belongs. "Answering a question with a question". I did not do that either. I was trying to flesh out the scenario by asking clarifying questions. You seem to have answered them with "the therapist was wrong." Okay. I'm not trying to be difficult or obtuse with you. Please don't put words in my mouth or ascribe intention to me when you don't know me. I'm trying to participate in the discussion, but there doesn't seem to be one after all. JMHO
