Unfortunately, he is a generation or so behind the times, and his pioneering proceeds along a well-traveled road. He has what he apparently considers a revolutionary new idea for treating borderline cases. He calls it group therapy. The doctor likes to sit in his office and tune in, by way of closed-circuit TV, on Polly Bergen, Janis Paige and other patients down...
