Not dealing with transference or anything "deep" is unfortunately the trend now. Maybe it's necessary when demand exceeds supply or clinics need rapid turnover. That seems to be what's driving this Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And there are therapists that don't really like people and don't want to study. Ignoring transference is the same as "ignoring the elephant in the room." Everyone has transference feelings, whether the therapist likes it or not. And if you could have solved your problems just by reasoning them out, you would have already, yes?
