Being 'put on' indicates lack of agreement or participation by the person who, or whose group, has been analysed and will therefore tend to indicate hostility to the process. (That this process is opposite to psychiatry should not be assumed to be part of the criticism.) The assumption should then be that the analysis is incompetent.
