What is this sentence about?
"They talked about whether the know-it-all assumptions of their rehabilitation counselors were motivated by a need to control their clients if for no other reason than to make sure their own jobs did not become obsolete."

The rehabilitation counselors act like know-it-alls (superior, bossy, they know more than everyone else). When they do this it creates an exclusive in-group for them and makes them feel and seem indispensable. In the sentence, 'they' were surmising that the counselors were controlling their clients this way so that others would continue to believe that they and the job they were doing were necessary. So they were acting this way, not to help their clients, to do good, or to be useful in any way. It was merely to protect their jobs.
