There is a type of theraputic practice that revolves largely around being a good listener. It's a useful strategy to help clients become more comfortable with conversing with you, although clients with more complex problems usually need the counselor to be more active. ELIZA is a computer program that tries to mimic this reflective listening strategy.

Eliza: Hello. I am ELIZA. How can I help you?
Me: I don't know
Eliza: Why do you not know?
Me: Well, I've just never tried this online counseling.
Eliza: Please go on.
Me: Yeah, I'm kind of nervous and a little confused
Eliza: Does it please you to believe I am kind of nervous and a little confused?
Me: No, that doesn't make sense
Eliza: You are being a bit negative.
Me: Well, you're stupid.
Eliza: How long have you been stupid?
Me: Not me, you.
Eliza: Do you wish to [] me?
Me: ...Huh?
Eliza: Please go on.
Me: No, don't give me that
Eliza: You are being a bit negative.
Me: Well, you're being frustrating and useless!
Eliza: How long have you been being frustrating and useless?
Me: See, you're doing it again.
Eliza: How long have you been doing it again?
Me: What's you're problem?
Eliza: How long have you been problem?
Me: Are you huffing paint?
Eliza: Would you prefer if I were not huffing paint?
Me: Yes, no paint, no glue, no methamphetamines
Eliza: You are sure?
Me: Yes!
Eliza: You are sure?
Me: YES! Stop asking me!
Eliza: You are sure?
Me: Yes! I'm going to reach across the internet and slaughter your numerical innards if you ask me again.
Eliza: Do you wish that I ask you again?

At this point the conversation mysteriously ends...police found Eliza dead in an alley two days later.

The moral of the story kids, is that Rogerian therapy has its limits.
