...CONSEQUENCES of neurosis follow from the nature of the disease. The neurotic stops trying to fulfill his need because he can no longer express it. Not wishing to antagonize an unloving parent, he represses awareness of his need. Instead of behaving according to real needs, he behaves according to contrived and artificial wants which he turns to in order to relieve the pressure of needs. The pursuit of objects transformed into symbols becomes the rationale for his behavior; "symbolic behavior" seeks the release of inner tension...
Another aspect of special education that will change is the perception of the role of the parent, both in choosing a class for his or her own child, and in setting up long range programs. One mother of an autistic girl described her frustration both at the classifications and at her own helplessness before a system that did not provide for a parent's needs or wishes.

By sprinkling a few gilded names among the less familiar artists who will get exposure at Mini-Met, Chapin clearly hopes to attract subscribers from the parent company as well as tap a new and younger public. On opening night, for example, a gifted newcomer named Nancy Williams sang Phaedra, while Dido and Aeneas were handsomely dispatched by International Stars Evelyn Lear and Thomas Stewart. The audience reflected the casting: brocaded ladies and black-tie escorts presumably...
