Anthony,
I understand your reasons for the above statement, but any program where a human being is
forced to do something so intimate and personal would have a tremendous failure rate. I know if someone told me that I was going to be forced to go into therapy, my first reaction would be 'Make me!'. I think that's gonna be a pretty universal reaction. Or people would make something up just to get it done and over and no help is given.
That doesn't even take into account the legal and ethical considerations. Plus the basic human right to privacy.
Offering is good (as long as it's not some half-assed effort). But one of the thing that too many humans have fought for since time unremembered is their independence and freedom. You try to force someone to do something (especially if they don't want to)...you're going to have a big fight on your hands.
Just my opinion.
