Since it was recorded for educational purposes in the first place, they present the ideal image of how different therapy methods should be used. So, the sessions are rather the ideal of what therapy with CBT, Gestalt and humanistic therapists "should" be like than the reflection of what therapy is really like

As far as I know, most gestalt therapists of today aren't big fans of Perls' style, so they wouldn't agree that what he demonstrated is what gestalt therapy "should" be like. However, he did use many techniques that are used in that type of therapy, so it's educational in that sense.
