So if the client reverts back to the abandonment state, that to me suggests they are in harm's way. Experiencing abandonment is not generally a healthy thing. If the premise is that learning to tolerate this over and over leads to some sort of correction, then it should be called abandonment therapy, and the danger should be acknowledged. Or maybe the practice ought to be abolished.
