I disagree with the Abuse allegation, especially considering the circumstances. In dealing with someone caught in Cyclic/Obsessive Behavior, sometimes drastic or harsh methods are necessary. That sort of thing is very typical in Therapy, especially when the person experiencing the Loops is engaging in destructive or harmful behavior.

Kaneki was caught in "I MUST SAVE THEM" while not even knowing who or what he was supposed to save. It was just an obsessive thought he was trapped in at that point, and one that was causing him to starve himself and self-harm. He was explicitly ripping out his own eyes to the point they were infected, and expected to die from what he was doing to himself.

Arima's harsh actions broke the cycle, and forced him to reset. Harsh or not, it did save his life.

(Sorry, a bit experienced irl with dealing with people with Looping/Obsessive behaviors and I kinda dislike the tendency of outside viewers to label necessary stuff as "abusive" or "mean".)
