Has anyone read the book, _One Child_, by Torey Hayden? It deals with this same issue (better to have loved and lost...) only between a teacher and student rather than therapist and client. It's really, really good (I recommend all of Hayden's books).
My opinion is that pain is life and if therapy weren't inherently painful, we wouldn't learn anything worthwhile.
