There are still some hard-core analytic therapists who will not even hand the client anything because they believe it will "contaminate the transference" or something like that... but they're usually far more polite and discreet when they need to give something to clients, generally placing the item on a table or chair, not dropping it on the floor in front of them!
This therapist just sounds confused, uncertain about her therapeutic stance, and rude.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
