Maybe this could be true if the T ... was not as in touch with how close (or not) his client was to him and overestimated the attachment?

Yes, I think this may be what Rubin meant when she referred to "narcissistic gratification" of the therapist. Maybe this is a feeling she guards against in herself and so somewhat projects onto other therapists. Who knows. I found the passage intriguing as I had never experienced the "overstatement" from the T before and wondered if others had. Every therapy is so individual, but it sounds like no one who has responded here has experienced that. (I think that is a good thing!)
