I was trained in a psychoanalytic tradition and also have been in analysis in the past. Accepting gifts is a no no; hugs are a no no; if a patient writes a letter or email, it would be accepted but then why was there the need to do this would be analyzed perhaps depending on the degree of illness the patient presents. Doesn't mean that the therapist/analyst does not care; it only means that such things as gifts just complicate the transference which then is not as "pure" so to speak.
