yes Dependent personality disorder.. there could be a more specific jargon for it yaya but a name is a name anyhow

reason it happens is the person sees someone(the shrink in this case)as necessarily not really superior but stronger cause that patient ends up deciding that he or she can't I can't/don't want to do it myself kind of state of mind..
