Make-work may be used in U.S. hospitals when objective is not the product, or service performed, but the effect the activity itself has on the patient's disability, e.g., woodworking may be indicated because the bicycle saw used exercises the leg muscles in a special way; or painting because the canvas serves as a medium for the mental patient to express feelings he can't put into words.

He seems to be succeeding until, at story's end, an idea is seen at the periphery of his mind, the more horrifying because it has been so thoroughly excluded from his conscious thoughts. It is the idea of suicide. Another story whose effect lingers after the pages have been turned is Bernard Malamud's The Magic Barrel, an understated, poignant account of a Jewish marriage broker, his errant daughter, and a wife-seeking young rabbi...
