It's similar to CBT although it is more confrontational. For some clients that is necessary but others wouldn't do well with it at all (as with any type of therapy). I myself prefer a T who has a certain philosophy but a flexible style.
I think it's best if the therapist uses the tools that best fit the patient - and if there's a philosophy involved then that works just as well - only if that therapist uses flexibility with it. But a stricter regimen can work for some as well.
