There have been several studies of ill effects of psychotherapy. This is a topic that is receiving an increasing amount of interest from researchers. A study that I was involved in, that includes a brief summary of previous research, can be found at:
Bowie, C., McLeod, J. and McLeod, J. (2016), ‘It was almost like the opposite of what I needed’: A qualitative exploration of client experiences of unhelpful therapy. Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, 16: 79–87. doi:10.1002/capr.12066 (abstract)
If you email me at the University of Oslo, I would be happy to send you a copy of the whole paper.
