I've read her stuff and I do think the approach can be very useful with CERTAIN people. I think the concept is on reframing your thoughts so you "own" the things that happened in the past, since the past can't be changed (acceptance basically). For some people this really can be empowering. But its definitely a judgment call on the part of a T whether or not to use this approach, and I'm leary of a T who subscribes to one mode of thought or theory anyway. I think bits and pieces of her work can be incorportated into therapy successfully while other parts are ignored. Some of it is not too different from reality therapy, which is also not for everyone either.

She does have a directness about her that comes across as arrogant, and her choice of words are harsh and in some cases terrible. It depends on the client themselves and where they are in therapy in determining if this approach would be helpful or not.
