I find it helpful to try to establish the true nature of therapy, independent of the effects. But if you're suggesting that the dodgy approach to so called "boundaries" is justified by a smattering of anecdotal successes, i'd disagree, not least because it's easy to find abject failures and outright disasters. Also ends don't necessarily justify dubious means. Someone could say... my therapist beat me regularly and look at me, i'm healed! Not denying good outcomes, just trying to cut thru the tidal wave of bulls**t on this topic (and to support myself and hopefully others who feel similarly).
