I'm afraid research isn't my strong suit, but a google search turned up this. Maybe it will give you some terms to do some further googling.

I understand the dilemma of not wanting to go from bad to worse. I'm sort of in the same situation with my pdoc. Not that there's anything wrong with him. I am just scared of him. But I'm scared that if I try to find someone new, I'll get someone who is worse than just scary. Maybe someone who doesn't know what he's doing.
You know, I can understand why your previous therapist would have said that a difficult therapeutic relationship could be beneficial. I think it probably can be very beneficial to learn to work on relationships in real time with someone who is trained. In general I find working on not all that difficult relationships challenging enough. And my pet theory is that there is no change before its time. Maybe I've never been ready.
I suppose there's some off chance that maybe my willingness will ripen, and it will be time for me to tackle that. :)
