I guess they consider that a selling point, but one could argue that is what make it dangerous. They have made up their own conventions that are not subject to anything real. For example, clients are encouraged to have or express strong feelings for the therapist, knowing the feelings will not be returned, but wil be analyzed instead. That's a pretty insane proposition. Seems clients are systematically pushed to abandon their instincts in favor of weird therapy orthodoxy. Another example is the one you gave -- intense attunement, then adios for a week. That is also insane. But it's considered normal within this alternate reality.
