...emotionally disturbed individual pull himself up by the bootstraps of his own will power? Indeed he can, according to Abraham A. Low, a Vienna-trained anti-Freudian psychiatrist who settled in Chicago in 1922. To show how, Low wrote a book called Mental Health Through Will-Training and founded a psychotherapeutic self-help organization called Recovery, Inc. Until after his death in 1954, Low's behavior therapy was professionally unpopular in the Freudian-dominated American psychiatric world, but today it has come into its own, and Recovery, Inc. is thriving...
Total abolition of prison still remains somewhat fanciful. As Illinois Psychiatrist Marvin Ziporyn observes, "We have some wolves among the human population. The prison system still contains 50% aggressive criminals." Some would quarrel with his percentage, but no expert argues that all the walls should come down.

They too seemed to want to have a fling...
...Last Picture Show country (Johnny guffawed appreciatively at the movie's realism). The third son of Ted and Katie Bench (there is also a daughter Marilyn), Johnny prospered in the kind of aggressively athletic household that can send a young man to the big leagues or the psychiatrist's couch. His father, a onetime truckdriver and furniture salesman, had been a semipro catcher. It was his idea for Johnny to become a catcher; he reasoned that there was a dearth of good ones in the majors and that catching would be the quickest path to success. Ted even...
