I think it's very important to realize that the paper is written for professionals regarding a type of therapy and how it may not work --as a professional trying to be a peer. The interactions and foundations are indeed applicable for true peers as we have here at PC. The caveats are for the professional side of this, showing that there can be a crossing of the line, confusion and lack of meeting goals.
