The therapist's feelings about anything are not relevant in how I see it.
Right, but are they going to come out and say it directly or instead change their behaviors based on things they read, such as questions or interventions?

I don't think good Ts would go that far...just think it's a bad idea overall.

Edit-yes the ethical issues pointed out above.
