I devour similar books. :)
It made me feel a bit funny. But... Well, I know my therapist and he's transparent enough that I detect his slightest changes of mood.
I've got a reasonable idea of what he thinks of me, and how what he has thought of me has changed over time. And it's not anywhere near a completely positive picture. And that's ok. :) He accepts me with all the imperfections he thinks I have. Although I think he thinks I have a few I dont' think I have, and he misses a few that I do have.
I was most interested in the techniques they use to, to be frank, manipulate their clients. However, they haven't nearly as many as I had thought (and hoped I suppose).
I do read those sort of books sometimes and think that maybe some therapists are a bit burnt out and need a sabbatical.
