Psychologists are constantly in danger of evoking or experiencing Transference and Counter-Transference, creating a false therapeutic environment. This is natural, as people subtlely alter behaviour and such depending on context, without even realising it. If this continues, it can create a whole facade before anyone knows what is going on. The mirror is just a metaphor, but the concerns are valid.

Thank you and sorry, but justifying neutrality was not my aim. You don't answer my question, related to fairness or unfairness.( Not as regard mirrors, but as regard Truth, which is a christian value)

Aren't mirrors unfairly compared with psychologists, they that risk being broken as soon as the first wrinkle appears?

I apologize, quid est veritas, my analysis was wrong, whereas my question was relevant:

Indeed, seems to me people mix neutrality up with lie through omission: Neutrality is benevolent, for it faithfully reports the Truth of every good and every evil. As distinct from Lie through omission which hides both.. subsequently, mirrors are righteously, courageously, and benevolently reflecting images and Truth whereas psychologists, politicians Don't, they, whose lies through omission are neither neutral, nor benevolent
