Whitaker and his staff, which includes his energetic wife Mary as administrator, carefully address each of the 86 patients by name, even those who are close to senility. Such continuous and careful respect for the individual is an important part of the Whitaker therapy. "Our aim," says the husky, gentle doctor, who was a crack Marine transport pilot in World War II, "is to rehabilitate...
