...researchers at the Barrington Psychiatric Center in Los Angeles revealed that the costs of rehabilitation, disability, absence from work and litigation were six times as high for victims who received no or delayed therapy as for those who were treated quickly.

Starkov retains the support of his staff, some of whom have threatened to go out on strike, while worried readers have been pestering phone...
