5. Psychotherapists have ready-made solutions for all of life’s problemsWhat is important in establishing the therapist-client alliance is not what the therapist thinks is important to bring about change but what the client thinks is important. A good therapist tailors treatment sessions around the needs of clients instead of plugging clients into ready-made formulas.
Although this practice has changed in some states, generally speaking, psychotherapists are trained in the skill of helping clients work through their problems. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who usually limit their practices to prescribing and monitoring psychotropic medications while working with psychotherapists who conduct the therapy itself.While convenient for the novel or television show to have a character “fixed” in a session or two, it doesn’t work that way in real life.

I agree with everything except number 8. Therapy can last on the short end 3 - 6 months or can last years on the longer end depending on the diagnosis type, symptom severity and treatment modality as well as the client's efforts, resources and coping ability.
