I don't what study you're talking about, but I have heard that most (70% or
more) of people who have attended therapy/councilling found it beneficial.
Therapy is much maligned by people who have no personal experience with it
-- in fact, by otherwise rational and intelligent people.

Perhaps you should keep an open mind about topics in which you are less
qualified than others to pass judgment -- even personal judgment.  I've been
involved in therapy and found it to be very helpful.
