Depends what type of therapist!
A lot of therapists believe there comes a time when you must take an ethical stand and show that you wholly disapprove of the way they are and the way they are comfortable being.
Especially when talking about psychopaths or when diagnosing someone with "evil" which is a real diagnosis that some schools of therapists make.
It's a very diverse field!
The humanist school teaches that therapists should hold unconditional positive regard for everyone though, and this school is basically the nicest of the bunch.
