I was responding only to the OP's question which was related to the twice told story book. I did not like that particular book. I liked the other books I've read and I also liked that fat lady story because it sounded honest to me.

We can imagine that we ourselves are so nonjudgemental to everyone but I doubt that's truly the case - everyone has their prejudices and most people just try to hide them, perhaps even from themselves. I think it is part of the therapists job to work on his/her prejudices to get over them but to assume that there should never be none in the beginning would be assuming that therapists are not human beings.
