No.

In my experience therapy was only as effective as I allowed it to be.

I was forced into therapy as a child, and decided it was all a bunch of BS. As a result of those experiences I stayed away from therapy until I was so bad I was desperate to try anything. Had I not been "forced" into it initially, had I not reached those conclusions, I may have sought it out on my own years earlier... before I got that bad.

I guess my question would be, could forcing a person into therapy do someone more harm then good? Some might view it as dis-empowering, degrading, or even embarrassing... adding insult to injury.
