Well, based on my experience ('89-91), it wasn't the same as what I've read about CEDU... Yes, they pushed emotional expression and used sociological stuff. But, it wasn't the same campus, no slavery involved (drudgery as punishment only (ex: clearing roads of snow or cleaning up litter)), respect to students from counselers, and many students were friends with the counselers.
The downside was student-run rings for substance use and other unacceptable behaviors (one had just been fixed before I arrived, one was ongoing (I never noticed) during my last year).
