Jim's father had not visited him. Jim did not ask his
mother why Eric Grimson stayed away. One reason was that
Jim did not wish to see his father. Another was that he knew
that Eric was deeply ashamed because he had a "crazy"

therapy. Those had not succeeded with these patients, all of
whom were hostile to psychiatric therapy of any kind.

"What I'm offering youтАФthere's no pressure or force
used hereтАФis immediate entrance into a type of therapy
we've had much success with."

Doctor Porsena spoke very rapidly but clearly. He was
